"Life for expats and digital nomads in Vilcabamba is often described as peaceful and relaxed, with a slow pace of life that many find appealing. The town is known for its beautiful natural surroundings, including lush green mountains and clear blue skies, which provide plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and horseback riding. The local community is welcoming and friendly, with a mix of locals and expats from around the world. Expats and digital nomads often find the cost of living in Vilcabamba to be quite affordable, with low prices for housing, food, and other necessities.
