Vilcabamba, Ecuador, is another area famous for the longevity of its inhabitants. This region -like Hunza and the Caucasus - is also in high mountains, far away from cities. In Vilcabamba, too, there is very little serious disease. One reason for the good health of the people might be the clean, beautiful environment: The temperature is about 70 degree Fahrenheit all year long; the wind always comes from the same direction; and the region is rich in flowers, fruits, vegetables, and wildlife.
