In the sothern part of Ecuador is a small paridise. Villcabamba is a very special valley surrounded by hills that give it a perfect climate all year round.
We had
- our own beautiful cabin with onsuite and beautifil views.
- superb food, everything made on the premisies including the bread
- humming birds around us at breakfast
- swimming pool created out of a mountain stream
- great bar with wicked cocktails- free montain bikes with a two mile down hill ride to town and a truck taxi to take you back up
4 days of bliss for 25 pounds a day all in, including booze for both of us
Back to reality tomorrow. We have a 12 hour bus ride into Peru!!
PS we took another 8 hours of Spanish. Thought it nessary after I told a taxi driver that his offer of $4 was not acceptable and that I was going to pay $5.
Its called the valley of longlevity because so many of the inhabitants live and carry on working into their 100s. Scientists think it is mixture of environment, diet and excerise - Didn´t see many of them in the bar though
