V!VA User‘s Description
Highly publicized as "the valley of eternal youth" for its sprightly 70- and 80-year old inhabitants, Vilcabamba is also a hot spot on the Gringo trail. It is a must for anyone keen to hook up with fellow travelers, or indulge in home-made hippy treats and pamper themselves with a massage or steam bath. For some time, it was thought that residents regularly lived beyond 100 years, however, it is now thought that this is unlikely. At one time a small, isolated village, Vilcabamba is now more of an expat-haven, rich in gringo-run businesses catering to backpackers, than a place equipped to administer a shot of local culture.
