Vilcabamba:
The famous sacred valley, named this way by the Incas, is
located to the south of country, a few kilometers from the
city of Loja, capital of the province of the same name. Arabic
Typica coffee is basically produced here, at an altitude of
1200 m above sea level. The altitude and climate of this region
are privileged, and its temperature oscillates between 18ºC
and 25ºC. it has even been called "the lost paradise", because
its generous soil practically doesn't need to be worked on
to produce fruits that provide food to the inhabitants of
this valley.
It is also known as the Longevity Valley, since a great number
of its inhabitants easily surpasses the 100 years of age,
thanks to the methodical life that they lead, the feeding,
the water, the climate and the peace that are enjoyed in that
environment .
