The housing infrastructure is often basic, focusing on functionality to withstand the tropical climate and seasonal weather conditions. Developments in real estate might occasionally occur, aimed at enhancing the quality of life for its inhabitants, but the market remains quite niche and relatively stagnant compared to urban centers. Any investments or governmental programs typically emphasize sustainability and cultural preservation, reflecting the community’s rich heritage and connection to the land.

The residents experience a unique blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty, with the surrounding landscapes providing opportunities for fishing, hunting, and engaging with nature.

Services and amenities might be limited, requiring residents to be self-reliant or travel to neighboring towns for certain needs. However, this seclusion fosters a sense of solidarity and communal support. The lifestyle can be quite enriching for those who value a slower pace of life and a strong community bond, although it may pose challenges such as limited access to modern conveniences and employment opportunities.
