Vilcabamba, Loja, Ecuador is one of the healthiest villages in Ecuador, known as "The Valley of Longevity." With clean air and mineral-rich waters, it is the perfect place to get away from everything else. For this reason, it is home to several international settlers who have chosen the beautiful, quaint town to spend their retirement days. In fact, during our stops in Vilcabamba, we have come across several Americans, Germans, and Italians.
