Finca Amanecer is an intimate Eco-Lodge experience with breakfast at hostel prices. We offer clean comfortable rooms in a RUSTIC FARMHOUSE, on seven acres, 10 miles EAST of Quepos in Londres, Costa Rica. Live, learn and grow with us as we transition into a sustainable Eco-Village. Here you can experience sustainable tourism and discover the real Costa Rica in the typical Tico pueblo of Londres. Londres is pretty laid back, safe and quiet. This is ideal for single travelers,
"a place to meet life long friends".  (Mark Easter)

You can retreat from the world in our “Garden of Eden"; relax and refresh your soul in our "swimming hole"; or practice Yoga with a view of Rio Naranjo.  Here you'll be surrounded by the sounds, birds, and plants of the Rio Naranjo ecosystem: see Scarlet Macaws and toucans, be seduced by the fragrance of Ylang Ylang, El Lirio. Fall asleep to the sounds of Rio Naranjo or a profusion of Night Blooming Jasmine. You'll delight in the babmoo jungle filled with ,  a 4 headed garden shower. Relax by the creek, run the rapids on Rio Naranjo  or just hang out in a hammock and watch the Scarlet Rummped Tanagers and humming birds or Green Iguanas in the trees.  There's plenty to enjoy at Finca Amanecer.

The Eco-Lodge is in the original FARMHOUSE (La Casa Vieja) from the early days of the Finca, plus the newer “in-law” house, a large community patio, and the new BAMBOO YOGA RANCHO. The fully screened "in-law" house has become a master suite which we call "Picnic in Paradise".  It offers El Lirio with a double bed and bunks; plus Jasmine has a double and an individual, sleeping up to 7 people. The Great Room with its own kitchen, dining table and 2 comfortable sofas, plus bath with tub.

Rates:  Dec.-June  $25.00 pp; July- Nov. $20pp, with a minimum of 2 people per room.
Holidays; 3 person minimum per room.

La Casa Vieja has the new BAMBOO YOGA RANCHO, its own kitchen, 3 private double bedrooms and one private individual room; offering a RUSTIC but clean and comfortable lodging experience in keeping with life in the tropics. There is also a small salon with books and games.  WiFi is “generally available”. The room configurations are as follows:

En suite doubles: Poetry Room has a orthopedic Queen bed, sink, one garden view window and sky light providing very sunny mornings, and shares a semi-private, tiled hot shower with the Sunset Room. Sunset has an double bed, sink and 2 garden view windows providing sunny mornings. Dec-June: $40.00.  Green Season: $35.00.  Poetry and Sunset can be made a triple for an additional $15.            HOLIDAY PEAK:  Christmas & Easter weeks $45.00.

Cacao is now a private individual, made with teak from the farm, and one window to the patio.   $15 per person  HOLIDAY PEAK: $17.50 per person. Cacao shares the community bathroom with a tiled, hot shower, toilet and the “Periwinkle Pila”, (a large tiled utility sink).

You are invited to “pick your own breakfast” and beautiful tropical flowers for your room. Vegetarian and Vegan meals available at the hostel through prior arrangements. The building and grounds provide examples of sustainable design: solar clothes dryer; a “Tico semi-automatic washer”, recycled and native materials; and  the rooms open to the gardens.  Most walls are only one sided for a good reason; less places for nests!  Here you’ll enjoy the Bali or Hawaiian feel, there is no need for glass in the windows, all rooms have fans and you’ll enjoy the sound of the rain on the tin roofs.  It’s all about leaving a smaller footprint on Mother Earth.

Across the street is Rio Naranjo with world class III/IV rafting May-Nov, and it becomes a lazy river Christmas to Easter.  It is 40 minutes to the world famous Manuel Antonio National Park and adventure tours abound. I can even provide a map fora free hike to Bridal Veil Falls. There are 3 or 4 restaurants in Londres and 2 Mini-supers, all within walking distance.
