  • Hola! In this video, we take you on a tour of the Konrad Family Farm, Finca Hermosa, near Vilcabamba, Ecuador. We showcase the many local exotic fruit trees, medicinal plants, local fruits and veggies, as well as a terrifying spider, and the legendary "serpiente verde." which we caught trying to eat our son, Nagual. There is also a cute cat scene.
    Vilcabamba is a village in the southern region of Ecuador, in Loja Province, about 45 km (28 mi) from the city of Loja. The etymology of the name “Vilcabamba” derives from the Quichua “huilco pamba.” Huilco denotes the sacred trees, Anadenanthera colubrina (Yopo snuff, a DMT containing shamanic plant medicine, that inhabit the region; pamba is a word meaning “a plain”.
    Nestled in the Andean foothills, only a short distance from the Amazon, "The Valley of Longevity" has been a sacred place for many peoples throughout history
    The area has been referred to as the "Playground of the Inca" which refers to its historic use as a retreat for Incan royalty. The valley is overlooked by a mountain called Mandango, the Sleeping Inca, whose presence is said to protect the area from earthquakes and other natural disasters.
    In part 2, we will tour the town, check out some natural landmarks, hostels, and indigenous crafts.

    My family is moving to Vilcabama this summer for health and food safety. I am an experienced gardener in the Northwest and have a lot to learn about growing food in the mountainous tropics. I LOVE this video showing so many types of fruit etc. and very much hope to meet you sooner than later. Never having payed much attention to mushrooms, I've recently been listening to interviews with Paul Stamets and believe you may be able to help me learn a bit about mushrooms in Ecuador, too. Thank you for your videos.

    Wow your property is beautiful. I was born in Quito and live here today but everything is so contaminated, urbanized and populated, there is still lots of green but out there everything looks so untamed and gorgeous I’ve never seen my country like this, I wish I could live closer to nature. Thanks a lot for the videos I rlly enjoy them

    Great video! What an abundance of life there. 'Lookin' forward to visiting there before Thanksgiving (2020). 'Checkin' out AirBnB locations and trip schedules. So, I must be getting close to serious. Since I just discovered your channel, along with finishing my Michel Thomas TOTAL SPANISH audio Spanish lesson CDs before I depart, I will also watch the rest of your videos.

      There's sort of a neighbourhood watch around there. But definitely around if you talk to the right people. It's sort of decriminalised for small amounts in Ecuador, but dont be getting caught buying any.
