Dear Family and Friends,
Last week Chuck and I took our car, Puff Puff, and drove to Vilcabamba for a change of scenery and a lift in attitude.
We stayed at the health resort hostal, Izhcayluma. My best description of this resort would be two words: rustic and relaxing. The perfect place to get away from city life and news of the day. In addition to hiking the grounds, they offer yoga classes and massages.
Izhcayluma is located above the town of Vilcabamba. This is the view of Vilcabamba from the hostal. It is a nice downhill walk to the town center. There are taxis in the town to bring you back up the hill. I took this picture right after we arrived. The sun was out and the weather was perfect. The weather changed to cloudy and little sun for the remainder of our stay.

This is the dining room. It is open air and so pleasant. Because there were very few guests, each party had separate, well spaced, tables.
There are paths to explore and enjoy the grounds. Flowers are everywhere.
Although it was a little cool while we were there, their swimming pool is always maintained and ready to enjoy.
The bath house.
An absolutely delightful place.
Next time I will show a few pictures of the town of Vilcabamba.
Love,
Nancy and Chuck
I love that place . I imagine your drive there was amazing as well
ReplyDeleteWe felt safe enough there that we will probably return soon. The drive down was fantastic because there were no inter-provential buses to deal with. The traffic was very light.
