[May 2015 Update: "Thanks to your blog post we were able to find the church in Quepos. I work for the Church (in an unrelated department), so immediately upon return from my vacation, I made sure that the LDS Maps was corrected. The Branch was begging me to do so. The site is now fixed."
--Thank you, Joel!]
We wanted to go on Sunday during our vacation but all the lds.org website said was that it was by a furniture store. (False). We asked locals throughout our stay there and no one knew where the church was...Saturday afternoon loomed and it was our last trip into town and our last chance before Sunday to figure out what time the LDS church in Quepos met and where it was located. Of course, I had been saying little prayers the past few days to just find this place already, and as we drove around the block in Quepos that Saturday afternoon, who should we see, but two very conspicuous Mormon missionaries! (I know, this sounds like it should be a story in the Ensign or something.)
Austin and I made our little brothers jump out and flag them down--the American missionary seemed pretty happy to hear someone speaking to him in English--and they walked us to the church because they said it would be too hard to tell us how to get there. Well, if you don't have a convenient missionary to walk you to the LDS church in Quepos, here are some directions as of August 2012:
"It is now on the main road coming in from Jaco/Pocares/Damas right on the edge of town. If you are traveling towards Quepos it is on the left hand side next to "Los Horcones" Hotel and Restaurant. It is across a little canal/river."

Church still starts at 9:00, sacrament meeting is first. When we went it was the Primary Program which was really fun. We felt a good spirit and were glad we went!
Feel free to email me at e.a.sobczak@gmail.com if you have photos, anything to add to directions, etc.

I want to hear more and see more pictures from your trip! I like the Christmas layout too.
Thank you for your post. We googled "how to get to the Mormon church in quepos" and you come up first. We just went to Church (August 2012) and the Church hs moved up around the corner. I wish that I had a web page to post such great directions. (Your directions were great for the old address. We ran into another family looking in the same spot at the same time). A neighbor guided us to the new address. It is now on the main road coming in from Jaco/Pocares/Damas right on the edge of town. If you are traveling towards Quepos it is on the left hand side next to "Los Horcones" Hotel and Restaurant. It is across a little canal/river. If there is a way to e-mail you the picture of the new place so you can post it, let me know and I will send it to you. The locals say they have been trying to get lds.org to update the directions to no avail. Thanks again.
We went to church this past Sunday but no one ever showed up. The gate was locked and we waited for half an hour. Is it still at 9? Please let me know we would like to do this Sunday. Thanks Sherry Loosli
