Los Palafitos

Want to avoid paying land-based taxes? Don´t want to take out flood insurance? Need an way to receive deliveries from the mainland? Want to fish off your deck? Build a palafito, a house built on stilts that sits over the water! 


Tuesday appears to be
wood delivery day.
















My question is how they repair the stilts that may have rotted from being in the water, or how they treat the wood to prevent rot. The stilts must be secured deep in the ground some how -- are they easy to remove?
