Vilcabamba, Ecuador

Vilcabamba is a village in the southern region of Ecuador, in the Loja province, about 45 km from the city of Loja. The etymology of the “Vilcabamba” apparently derives from the Quichua “huilco pamba. ” Huilco denotes the sacred trees, Anadenanthera colubrina, that inhabit the region and pamba is a word meaning “a plain. ” The area has been referred to as the "Playground of the Inca" which refers to its historic use as a retreat for Incan royalty.

Located at -4.25583, -79.2189 (Lat. / Lng.), about 1 miles away.
