- Is Vilcabamba really the foreigner paradise it is known as? We give you our thoughts and experience living in this little town for two months! Some information on rentals, food, and community. Come see what life is like in southern central Ecuador in 2021!
• RUNNING a "Tienda" in ...
• $10! 3 MEALS! ECUADOR!
I love your attitude guys! People like you will be happy wherever you go! I live in Midwest and winter is here! I never liked this cold. Cant compare that cold and this cold. You remind me of another nice couple always happy and positive, Amelia and JP! Enjoy the country. Remember to be careful..I'm careful in USA! THERE IS NOT A PERFECT PLACE, REMEMBER THAT. BLESSINGS.
Thanks for watching, stay warm!
This is a great experience. I love it. Living tranquilos 😊
We appreciate it! Thank you for watching!
I visited Vilca recently and am moving there from Cuenca in a few mos.. beautiful place.. Cant wait to get into a warmer climate
The climate in Vilcabamba sure is nice. Enjoy!
Much of highland Ecuador has that perfect 'eternal spring' climate -- for those who are not into tropical temperatures.
Yes it is an absolutely awesome climate!
Salutations, thank you for visiting Ecuador, what a wonderful video.
Thank you for Watching Raul!
Great video guys thanks for sharing. Would love to visit all of South America one day. 😀🤩
Thank you for watching! It is a place with lots of beauty!
Good city for retirement ?
We love cool weather so we’re leaning towards Vilcabamba but we have not yet been to Ecuador.
We speak Spanish and have lived previously in Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
Retiring in 6 months !
Thanks for watching, it is a nice town the weather is good. Some people think it is a nice place to retire. But it is getting expensive due to all of the foreign immigrants trying to live there...
Leaving on my birthday. Have an amazing journey...🌏
We are truly glad to have met you both! Thank you for everything! PS Happy Birthday!

The Visa requirement just went up to $1275 in Ecuador in 2022.
Wow, that's a significant increase! Thanks for sharing that update.
I have heard that poisonous snakes and insects can be a problem there as a contrast to higher elevations?
In our experience this is untrue, harmful fauna in the area is rather rare.
Can you elaborate on the "out there" beliefs you mentioned?
Conspiracy theories are popular among expats in Vilca. But really you'll just have to go and see. ;)
@@theinfinitelivingproject7352 I would love that!
@@theinfinitelivingproject7352 Thank you. You just helped me decide this is not the place for me.
Thanks guys! Bon Yoyage.
Thank you for watching and enjoying our videos. Glad to have you as an infinite adventurer with us!
Great video, is there high speed internet?
Internet is pretty good yes!
Appreciate this video. Am black older woman and want to know the people in Vilcabamba are they English speaking people and the fruits and vegetables there are they organic, also do I need visa to enter Ecuador?
Hi there! ❤ Yes, Vilcabamba was the most English speaking locations I visited in Ecuador. Half of the population is made up of expats. Fruits and vegetables are plentiful. Also you receive your visa upon arrival. ❤
Yes, there is not transgenic plants! Just always be careful. I live in USA and Im ALWAYS very careful! BELIEVE ME!
Love your Videos it's like im there with you lol.
Thanks for watching
Neat!
thanks for watching!
I’m concerned with the recent rise in crime against Americans in Vilcabamba. Do you have any insight on this?
It is a small rural town with a high concentraction of foreigners especially Americans. This makes the town a target. We don't think it is anything to worry about though.
I heard new regulations are coming to limit the entrance and residency of foreigners. I do t k ow if is true.
Ecuador like many other places is kind of in flaux right now as the world tries to settle into a new normal.
Well done. I subscribed.
Thank you for watching!
Out there beliefs? I'm on my way!
You'd love it
👏👏👍👍
Enjoy. Go to plenty PLACES...🇪🇨
Thank you we definitely are excited to see more of this amazing country!
How's the internet and consistency of electricity?
The internet we had in our apartment was arguably the best we have seen in Ecuador to date! And the electricity rarely seems to go out compared to others areas. There is enough expats living there that the resources are there!
Thanks for the video ,I will hook you up with bosley 🧔
Thank you for watching!
Is there motorcycle dealers there?
Not in the way you might be imagining, but lots of people use motorbikes and they are around for purchase.
damm it you put the hook in my mouth and made me subcribe.
Well, we will take that as a compliment ;). Thanks for watching!
These short-term Vloggers never get to experience the real Vilcabamba. Many myths are passed on, and while Vilcabamba could be a vibrant area, there are too many crimes, grifters, and corruption.
We lived there for about a year. All the problems come from the foreigner community.
@@theinfinitelivingproject7352 That's still the honeymoon period. After three years there, I have to disagree with the violent home invasions with local police involved, dangerous taxi drivers, fraudulent medical folks, scopolamine poisoning, bribes, and corruption on every level of government. Yes, the expats play their role in real estate fraud and other misgivings. This is all coming out with the Metastasis Case and the cartel influence.
Got it! Vilcabamba seems to have its ups and downs. It's interesting to hear different viewpoints on what life there is really like. Thanks for sharing your experiences! 🌄
