VILCABAMBA

After a few days in Cuenca we took off for Vilcabamba with Jesse and his two cousins Mary and Cassie. Vilcabamba is a small village in southern Ecuador nestled up in the mountains in what is known as the Valley of Longevity. Supposedly the people of Vilcabamba have a longer than average lifespan that they credit to their laid back and healthy lifestyle. I guess I did see a few really old looking dudes hanging around. And one of them even hollered at the girls I was with, funny.
The six of us went for a hike one day up to these peaks overlooking the valley. Here's a video of our adventure...
