Yamburara

We walked to the "Yamburara" neighborhood of Vilcabamba. It's about a mile from downtown. It is very rural, with a mix of traditional Ecuadorian homes and high-end houses. It takes about an hour to walk the whole loop.
 This is "El Atillo", one of the American gated communities around here.

The houses in El Atillo are well built, plus they have nice common ammenities.




Louis and Angelina sometimes go ride this loop on their own. They love it.

 Cloud formations can be interesting.







We visited a house in Yamburara. We thought it was beautiful.






They own a gorgeous parrot.
This other house is a 10 bedroom/10 bath mansion built by an Ecuadorian family. It is like a resort, with two saunas and a large pool, and other fancy amenities. They rent it out to foreigners.
