No one knows when this hidden-away valley in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador was first discovered or populated. The local pre-Incan language of the indigenous people, Quechua, only exists as a spoken tongue and not a written language. Thus, the origins of the valley and its people is now lost in the mists of cultural memory.
However, the remote South American valley itself still exists, as do her people. In Quechua, the place was called Vilcabamba. It is actually composed of two words: Huilco, meaning "sacred" or "God", and Bamba, meaning "valley". Hence, "Valley of God" or "Sacred Valley".
Over the years Vilcabamba has been variously called: "The Isle of Immunity for Heart Disease, The Land of Eternal Youth, The Valley of Peace and Tranquility, and The Lost Garden of Eden Paradise". Some have even called it Shangri La", a place where magic happens.
It has been given these labels because of, as one writer put it, "the valley's solitude, serenity, clean air, dazzling sun, nearly constant blue sky, pure mineral drinking water, medicinal herbs, green fields, towering mountains, friendly people, lack of illness, and a kind of ubiquitous beauty that penetrates to one's soul and provides a sense of well-being".
Modern medical research reports that Vilcabamba is one of three places on earth where the people live the longest .......
In case you're wondering, the other two places are the Valley of the Hunzas in Pakistan and another small valley in the Caucasus mountains between Georgia and Russia. A significant portion of the populations in these three valleys live to be a hundred or more years of age (Centenarians). There are said to be no healthier places to be found - anywhere.
How do we account for this longevity? What is it that they do that most of the rest of the world does not? Have they discovered some magic elixir of life that is unknown to the rest of us?
The "Secret"
Common sense dictates that a long life must be something other than chance or happenstance. There simply must be a special combination of factors which increase people's chances of living into such an advance old age.
There is!
And the sooner this "secret" formula becomes common knowledge. the longer many of us can hope to survive and appreciate the LIFE of our years along with the increased years of our lives.
These teachings are not called "secret" because it is forbidden to talk about them. They are secret because so few who hear them will understand their importance and even fewer will act upon the information.
So here it is, in a nutshell - the secret of the Vilcabambanos:
As Don Lucho (the "Don" is a term of respect), a Vilcabamban elder and Curandero (Healer) points out: "We teach that our people's future health depends upon their daily personal habits of drinking, eating, living and thinking today. The drinking of our sacred Vilcabamba water is perhaps THE one habit that lends itself best to superior longevity among our people."
Could it be that THIS is the secret elixir, the very substance that all of us drink every day of our lives? Ah-hhh, but this water is VERY different. It is, in fact, unique! Let me explain.
Vilcabamba's "Magical" Water
Here in this far-distant and hard-to-find "Shangri La" called Vilcabamba flows the Agua Sacrado (sacred water) that scientists say is among the purest and healthiest in the world.
An Ecuadorian regional preserve, Podocarpus National Park, which claims to have Pre-Ice Age microorganisms and one of the world's few remaining pristine rainforests, surrounds the hidden Garden of Eden called Vilcabamba.
High up among the surrounding mountain peaks lies an area of primeval tundra, which is made up of great masses of vegetation .... layer upon layer of these grasses and vegetation of many types and colors. In this untouched and uninhabited area, there are also some fourteen lakes, each containing the melt of this uncontaminated glacier ice.
This icy melt is often referred to as "Glacial Milk", a solution of ionically dissolved elements in a suspension of finely ground rock dust from the living parent rock of the mountains through glacial friction. The suspended minerals in this "Glacial Milk" are referred to as metallic colloidal minerals.
Come the rainy season, these lakes of glacial water overflow and flood the tundra, which then acts as a filter for any undesirable heavy metals or minerals. But this humic layer does far more than merely act as a filtering devise.
These plants and ancient vegetation had never been exposed to any chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides. The plants are gradually transformed into humus, a rich organic mass that is food for new plant life.
No airplanes fly over this pristine area, so there is no potentially destructive Chemtrail residue. Legend has it that the sacred mountain of Mandango, that towers over the valley of Vilcabamba, contains such a high quantity of iron ore and rare minerals that it throws off the compasses of any over-flying airplanes. They simply go around the valley as if it did not exist.
After seeping through these countless layers of humic tundra, this purest of waters flows down into thousands of pools, then into hundreds of cascading waterfalls. And remember this part for a little later, because the countless waterfalls contribute to the extremely high negative ion count in the valley.
In 1973, Dr. Alexander Leaf of Harvard Medical School introduced these remarkable people to the world for the first time in his cover story for National Geographic Magazine. In 1981, the Ecuadorian government hired medical journalist Dr. Morton Walker to study these people in depth.
In his book, "The Secret to a Youthful Long Life", Dr. Walker reported that his research showed the mineral rich water that the Vilcabambans drank was key to their long lives and health. Laboratory analysis of the Vilcabamba water determined that the unique balance of enriched colloidal minerals in the local drinking water was ideal for promoting optimum human health.
So, are you beginning to see why this very special little valley high in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador lends its people such superb health and longevity? But what do we mean by a long and healthy life.
Throughout all history, a long life might be considered to be 80 to 100 years, with each of the four stages (Childhood, Adulthood, Midlife and Elderhood) equaling a quarter of it. Where are you?
I, myself, already into my 80's, have reached the end of the fourth quarter and I'm now into what might be called "overtime". Those of you in the generation just behind me are beginning your Elderhood stage …. with all of the health challenges that entails.
And please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Patrick Robinson and I live here in Vilcabamba. I moved here from the Island of Maui in Hawaii, itself a paradise, some years ago. Why did I come here to Vilcabamba? To live out my life amidst the peace, beauty and near-pristine environment of this magical valley. To be around sweet-natured people who could assist me, as role models, to understand and practice their localized "Art of Living Long". I came to learn how to add LIFE to my years along with YEARS to my life, and now I share with you what I can of that which I've been taught by friends and neighbors here in Vilcabamba.
For over thirty years, I have researched and written about health and longevity. So the subject is certainly not new to me. And I would hope that much of what you will be reading is not new to you. You already have most of the answers to the riddle of good health. You simply need to be helped to REMEMBER them.
If you have friends or parents who are "Baby Boomers", born between 1943 and 1960, then this information is
vitally important to them. Please, let them know
about this report. They will bless you for it.
So let me share with you some of the WHAT, WHEN and HOW's that have helped me regain my own vital health, at the ripe "old" age of 80, based on what I've learned from the "Old People" of this hidden away Andes Mountain valley called Vilcabamba.
You can get this information in a brand new FREE report, the "Vilcabamba Secrets For Renewed Good Health," available to you via an easily downloadable PDF file ... some 5,345 health-conscious readers have already received their requested reports. How about you?
But for now, let me share with you some of the topics that you will find in the report.
Is Good Health Really A Secret?
I began seriously changing my lifestyle to a more healthy one when I was fifty years old. Never was "sickly" in years previous to that, but I was far below my optimal potential and wanted more out of life than I was getting.
Now that I've passed 80, the level of a card-carrying octogenarian, that changed lifestyle is paying off quite handsomely for me. Which is one reason that I have written the report I have mentioned.
I have long been interested in healthy nutrition - vitamins, supplements and any other ways of looking after the needs of my body. Not to get fanatical though, but simply being sensible about such things and looking out for my own long term best health interest. And I'm sure if you think about it for a minute, you feel the same.
Interestingly, most people seem to think that there's a trick or a secret to achieving good health.
And you know what? They're right.
You see, most people assume that the trick is some magic food, a special training program, a new nutritional supplement that is derived from an endangered, secret plant found in a remote part of the Amazonian jungle.
Well, take it from me .... I can tell you that searching for those kinds of things will only lead to disappointment and unnecessary expense. The real secret .... one that has always worked and always will .... is this:
Get help from someone who has already successfully done what you want to do.
It''s called "mentoring", and it works! So what I'd like to do is offer you some free mentoring. If you find it to be of value, then there are other good stuff to share with you. But that's for later.
No matter what your current state of health, this free report offers valuable guidance on how to recreate the kind of vitality you've been wishing you still had!
The Vilcabamba Secrets To Renewed Good Health. REMINDS you of truths you already know but may have forgotten. You CAN regain your health, without spending a fortune on books, trusting in those medical "band-aids" or health store pills and potions.
You are absolutely right in wanting your good health back again - but you'll never get it by doing the same old things that everyone else does - and constantly fails at. What you do need to do is get "out of the box" and explore some new ways of looking at health and longevity
So why not download this myth-shattering report now, today, this very minute!
OK, what to do now?
Well, if you are seriously interested in bettering your current state of health, then I'd suggest that you fill out the form below ..... and I will email you my report. No shipping to pay. Nothing to buy. Just lots of actionable information based upon the teachings of the Old People of Vilcabamba. It's what I call their "Art of Living Long".
And I want to assure you that I value your privacy! Your name and address will NOT be sold or even shared with ANYONE, ever! That's my absolute promise. You see, I want you as a fellow co-creator of good health and, hopefully, a friend ..... not just as someone on a mailing list.
So here is the form. I hope to hear from you soon.
Meantime; stay well, be happy, give your "best friend" a hug, and remember that your health is your wealth!

So you can see that the very essence of life itself, this humic-charged water, is delivered directly to the doorstep of the Vilcabambans - pre-filtered and containing all of the enriched colloidal mineral nutrients known to be vital to the health of human-kind!
Modern science has also demonstrated that the inhabitants of Vilcabamba have something else going for them, besides pristine water. The food that is grown in this small valley deep in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador is also very special.
But don't just take my word for it.
Dr. Richard Laurence Millington Synge, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and the man who discovered amino acids, claims that there are remarkable medicinal qualities to be found in the plant-life in certain places near the Equator .... with the valley of Vilcabamba being one of these areas. Due to scientific chemical assay techniques, analysis has now shown that the fruit, roots and herbs of this particular Equatorial sub-area offer some of the strongest anti-oxidant protection in the world!
