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!!
It's just a really lovely place with charming staff and a beautiful garden. The room looked onto the pool and was very quiet. I liked the fact that it had fly screens so you could leave the windows open at night without the issue of bugs. I also liked the hammock outside on the veranda - one for each room.
It's a very small town so everything is walking distance from the hotel. There were no issues with hot water, and WiFi worked well in our room o the second floor.

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!
10 minute walk downhilll into town. 15 minute walk back uphill. $1.50 taxi to and from town center. There have been several improvements, including use of washer and dryer, overall hot water capabilities, etc. And the host family is an exceptional one. Alpha House would be THE place for a long term stay in Vilcabamba.
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.
Intimate, home-like stay with a very welcoming and relaxing common area (inner patio, the pool and the kitchen). Yeleny, the owner is a host, who wants you to feel like home and it does! If you come to Vilcabamba to relax and slow down, it's definitely a place to stay.
What a pleasant oasis in lovely Vilcabamba. Our room was spacious ,a fun glass rain shower, big fluffy towels, a comfortable bed, lots of wall plugs, hooks to hang things, and a row of hangers! Anya was so welcoming . The community kitchen was also well set up.
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.
Great location. Very good restaurant. Safe parking. The garden is great with a beautiful pool. There was a 'fiesta' in town, so it was hard to sleep until 1am, but this wasn't the hotel fault.
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
Wonderful family-run hotel, beautiful garden, nice pool, good restaurant. A few blocks from main square which was actually perfect, as it was much quieter. Highly recommended.
