Where you stay matters, not just for comfort, but for how you feel while you're here. Vilcabamba is a place that invites stillness, healing, and reflection... and your space should support that. Whether you're resting between adventures, preparing for your photo session, or simply slowing down, I hope this guide helps you land gently.

A quick note: ALL of these places are locally owned, family run gems, and may not have a full website. You'll often need to contact them directly via WhatsApp, using the number listed in their Google info. Don't let that deter you, that's part of the charm here! Things move slower, and everything is more personal.

If you feel the pull to come to Vilcabamba, I'd love to welcome you here to this land, this light, and this slower way of being.
Book a stay. Breathe in the mountains. Let me photograph your story while you're here.
