Vilcabamba is a beautiful small town nestled in the Andes...
Vilcabamba is a beautiful small town nestled in the Andes but at a lower elevation than most tourist destinations. The weather was warm and dry and the town is slightly quaint without the large chain stores found in most cities. However had no problem finding what I needed.
The real attraction is the countryside, visually spectacular IMHO. There is also a small river on the edge of town with trails that take you past groves of bamboo and other flora. The water is the best here in all of Ecuador as it contains colloidal silver and gold plus other beneficial minerals, maybe that's why they call it the "Valley of Longevity".

Vilcabamba is a totally unique spot.
Vilcabamba is a totally unique spot. The view of the mountains from town is breathtaking; the atmosphere on the square is calming and relaxing. All the food at the restaurants was either good or remarkably creative, especially Mestizo. All the people there were fabulously engaging and positive, even when we saw them other places. Every day the soup was to die for! It was a little disconcerting seeing more gringos than locals around town,, but nature trumps all human presence!

Cool, fun town with an active community.
Cool, fun town with an active community. Most nights there is a group event or lecture to attend. Often, we had to choose one event over another due to their frequency. That's a good thing, too, as it's a rather small town.
That said, it's quiet, peaceful and amazingly beautiful. We totally recommend it to our friends and family now. We loved it!

Vilcabamba is a unique place. 50 years ago it was a simple village with no canalisation a no infrastructure. Then from 1968 on came lots of foreigners mostly from North American and Europe and helped building this place to a small town with amenities that you do not find easily in other Ecuadorian places. Of course prices at the local french bakery are a lot higher but it is no obligation to buy there, it is a privilege. Vilcabamba offers two worlds in one, you have the traditional ecuadorian offers and the ones run by foreigners. People are living together here peacefully and fertilize each other. You will hardly find another place in Latin America where so many inhabitants are speaking English thanks to initiatives that were started by some of the expatriates many years ago. It really seems that the foreigners living here are happy with Vilcabamba and the people from here are with "their" foreigners.

This is a great little town - full of fabulous restaurants and a diverse population - with Ecuadorians, many retired gringos, and plenty spiritual hippies. People love to sit outside in cafes and the plaza is lively. Food is great - can get everything from burgers and pizza and crepes, to organic, vegan, etc. Great bakeries and ice cream shops as well. It has a truly small town feel - friendly and accessible - with plenty diversity.

Small town with great views of surrounding mountains and nature and the food in the town is definitely catered to tourists however it is very tasty! I will go back to Vilcabamba for some much needed relaxation in the future!
I had an exellent stay in Avalon House in Vilcabamba. Anja, the owner was super frindly, open-hearted and gave me brilliant recommendations for my time in Vilcabamba. She told me great places for doing Yoga, having a massage, renting bicycles, having a horse riding trip or nice places for hikes. I felt super welcomed and the atmosphere is so peaceful. The yoga room is wonderful as well. Everything is really clean and designed with love. I definitely recommend this place!!
Anya is a goddess. She runs the place. And offers Kundalini Yoga Mondays & Thursdays 7 am. The ambience is as if emanating from a soothing incense stick. Of course Vilcabamba has a lot to do with it but she makes Vilcabamba even better. Inside the walls, the hillside view is velvet with el Greco skies at sunset. The place is 90% wooden, soothingly organic to the feet. I could go on. You get the drift.

The cabins are situated in a beautiful space, right by the river. You are trully in nature, whilst being a short, beautiful walk from amazing Vilcabamba.
The cabins are beautifully designed, and have everything you require to be comfortable - kitchen equipment, comfortable beds, delicious water.
The hosts are really friendly and responsive.
I recommend staying here.
Richard helped us get settled and was available for all of our questions about Ecuador and the area around Vilcabamba. He speaks fluent English. We loved all of the custom touches in the house - the woodwork, colorful paint and decorative tile and stone. And the garden is beautiful, too. The property is a short walk from town. Very highly recommended!
Our stay was wonderful! The hosts were friendly, helpful and informative. The Alpha House location is perfect - close to town, but on a beautiful private property with trees, flowers, birds and butterflies. Our room was spacious and comfortable, and evenings were quiet and peaceful. We hope to return for another visit in the future!
I felt very quickly at home in this hostel. Breakfast was always freshly prepared. There were fresh juices and fruits. The coffee and bread was very tasty. When I visit Vilcabamba again, I hope Hostel Jardin has a room available. Everything was very nicely designed, the courtyard is beautiful with many trees and plants.
Great location! Just far enough from the centre of Vilcabamba to ensure peace and quiet. The view to the valley is the best with the stunning breakfast. The staff were extremely friendly and very helpful anytime, they help us to organize activities, the infinity pool area was really nice.
Its super affordable. The garden is enchanting and charming and the common areas are quite nice and varied. I loved the hammocks, the pool, and the breakfast. The best feature for me was how close it is to the center square, which made exploring Vilcabamba super convenient and easy.
Very nice contact to Alicia. Acc. is in nature reserve with hiking possibilities and only 10min walking to the center of Vilcabamba. River closeby to jump in. Nice basic room and shared kitchen and terrace. Hammock to chillout. It's a quiet place with only nature sound.
A beautiful old adobe Ecuadorian house, lovingly restored and thoughtfully appointed, we felt more like we were staying in a boutique hotel than a budget hostel. Great location, great views from our room, kind and considerate host, highly recommended
The staff are nice. The facilities. It attracts good people and it is a fair hostel price, the best in Vilcabamba; more like what you will find in the bigger cities. The kitchen is a bonus and the outdoors area are wide open spaces, nice for relaxing.
Must stay in Vilcabamba!
The place is simply perfect, great outdoor space, swimming pool, sauna. Very well equipped kitchen.
Bed and pillow are super comfortable.
A special thank to the owner, she really made us feel at home!
Lovely dog
shower and rooms were very good and the bed and it was located on the central park. depending on the part of the hotel (if at the back) very little people noise from the outside
The room was cozy and comfortable. The shared bathroom is clean and spacious. The kitchen is clean and well-equipped. Located near the center of Vilcabamba. Good price
