Los Cedros is rustic but quite comfortable. A spacious propane-powered kitchen serves good meals. During most seasons crystalline and eminently drinkable water is gravity-fed from the pristine watershed. Boiled water is also available if required. The gas-heated shower building has a wonderful view. Outhouses are kept clean. A micro-hydro plant installed on a nearby river and a solar panel generate limited 12 and 110 volt power. The majority of food is bought from Coopertive Camari, where indigenous people sell their organic foods. The meals are supplemented with fresh veggies, herbs, and fruit juices from within the reserve. During the week good plentiful food is prepared by kitchen staff and on weekends the inmates are let loose in the kitchen, gardens and pantry. Facilities exist for movie watching and ping pong. Hammocks are strategically placed throughout.

In recent years phone lines have reached the reserve. With patience, an internet connection can be coaxed out of those lines for email.

An ever-evolving (and devolving) trail system provides access to the surrounding ridges, slopes, rivers and plateaus. The majority of the Reserve’s 17 000 acres remain untracked and rarely visited by humans.

Well constructed wooden buildings have supplemented the original colonist buildings and outbuildings. In addition to dormitory, double and single rooms, there is meeting and project space. For the intrepid there are fixer-upper outbuildings located further out on the trails.
