Base Crestones lodge solar powered
Chirripo National Park is located in the core zone of La Amistad BIOSPHERE RESERVE. Wastewater produced by park visitors who stay at the Base Crestones lodge has been successfully managed by installing solar collectors. Besides that, the energy produced is used for lighting the lodge, heating the rangers house, prepare food, and operate the telecommunications system used by park management. In that place daily average temperatures are 5°C, and minimum temperatures go down to 0°C.
