V!VA User‘s Description

Highly publicized as "the valley of eternal youth" due to the sprightly 70-and-80-year old inhabitants, Vilcabamba is a hot spot on the Gringo trail. The city is a must for anyone keen to hook up with fellow travelers, or indulge in homemade hippie treats and pamper themselves with a massage or steam bath. For some time, it was thought that residents regularly lived beyond 100 years, however, now most know that this is unlikely.
