Los Visionarios
Vilcabamba, Loja,
Ecuador
(Vilcabamba)
 We are an intentional community located 10 minutes from the world famous valley of longevity, Vilcabamba, Ecuador. We are founders and members of the Utopian EcoVillage Network Federation. We are seeking people who have a strong desire to live communally. We are part of a network of intentional communities throughout the world linked with similar values to support each other for the creation of a new society. The basic intention of our community is to be a pilot, model demonstration of how to live in a real new world consciousness of sharing on all levels: financially, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
