In Londres you'll also discover the (other, other) London Bridge, one of the better
suspension bridges in Costa Rica. Rio Naranjo offers Class III/IV
white water rafting May through November. December through
April. offers exceptional fly fishing
with crystal clear water and a lazy river float.
Londres is safe and offers a small town feeling. You can walk to 2 Mini-supers and 3 different restaurants. Robin Hood is open on Rio Naranjo with Karaoke on Sunday afternoons and La Casona has just expanded with 3 TVs and 2 pool talbes. There is also a small soda in the center of town and a tienda bazaar.
Many of the adventure tours booked in Quepos actually take place in Londres. If you are adventurous and plan to run the rapids, zip through the canopy, rappel down waterfalls, ride a horse or ATV to discover the Sky Bridge in the rainforests of Cerro Nara then Londres is the place to be. "Londres has the best of everything for a "back to nature" getaway & it's close to Manuel Antonio Park". (Ronda) Most guide books tell you "Quepos stinks" literally. At our hostel, you savor the fragrance of Ylang-Ylang, el Liro and Night Blooming Jasmine. Come enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the rainforest in a friendly small town atmosphere as we build our sustainable Eco-Village.
Lots of changes have occurred this year. We finally (as of May 2005) have an ICE phone sign announcing you have arrived in Londres. The community has begun a new High School in the Community building and the government has bought a piece of land to build the school. If you have anything at all you'd like to donate to the HS they need CD players for English lessons, pencils and pencil sharpeners. Obsolete stationary makes for great note paper. Just about anything you can think of will be greatly appreciated.
Londres will feel like stepping back in time, and our Eco-Villager will be like a scene from
Mayberry RFD. It's a delight to walk to the corner store or take a hike just to enjoy the view. Won't you be my neighbor? Elena Ross
