Vilcabamba, the "valley of longevity" - San Pedro

Prices tend to be a little high in Vilcabamba, higher than in other places in Ecuador but still very attractive. This is due to the popularity of Vilcabamba, the "valley of longevity" with its ideal climate, lifestyle, abundance of food and also its cosmopolitan expat community. People come here to live not only from the USA but also from the UK, France, Belgium, Germany among other countries.

(*)September 2009: Money, irrespective of currency, is not safe. It can be devalued at the blink of an eye or it can disappear alltogether. Land on the other hand is safe because it is REAL. Land is not an arbitrary "I owe you" piece of paper. The earth only has a finite number of square meters on it, albeit a very high number. The "good square meters" are the ones that have pure air and pure water as well as the ability to provide food and safe shelter. It is as simple as that. If you find yourself owning money, now is the time to convert it into something REAL such as land. If you value mother earth and your health, if you think that you can agree with our basic principles as outlined on this web site, now is the time to buy.
