If you’re travelling to San Ignacio in Peru—an all day car journey when coming from Vilcabamba—and you need a place to rest for a while, the best place to stop is Zumba—although the best places to sleep are still in San Ignacio. Zumba is 115 kilometres south of Vilcabamba and just 10 kilometers north of the Peruvian border. You can start the day’s journey from Loja or Vilcabamba. There is little reason to stop in Zumba, other than to stretch your legs, but there is one hotel if you get stuck.
