This week <3
Had an amazing week with swimming, sight seeing and good food!
Malacatos is a little town about 20 minutes from Vilcabamba. It’s an adorable spot with a few sites to see! The blue and white chapel is darling and the surrounding square is picture perfect for a stroll. While expats and American immigrants are common in vilca, they aren’t so much in the surrounding towns. So, me and my mom kinda stuck out and I was too embarrassed to take too many photos while we walked around and waited for our paper work.
Malacatos, located just 20 minutes from the well-known town of Vilcabamba, is a hidden gem worth exploring. This quaint town offers visitors an opportunity to experience its rich culture and stunning landscapes. The most prominent feature is the stunning blue and white chapel, which stands out in the main square, providing a perfect backdrop for leisurely strolls. Although Vilcabamba is inhabited by many expats, Malacatos maintains a more local ambiance, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in authentic Ecuadorian culture. Being a less frequented tourist spot, it's an ideal location for travelers seeking unique experiences off the beaten path. If you find yourself in Vilcabamba, don’t miss the chance to explore Malacatos and create lasting memories through its breathtaking scenery and warm local hospitality. Whether it’s sampling local delicacies or simply enjoying the serene atmosphere, this town represents the quintessential travel experience in Ecuador. So next time you plan a trip, consider making Malacatos a stop on your itinerary to truly understand its charm and beauty.
