Description

Good to Know

The Elqui Valley, a resplendent cultural treasure in the heart of Chile, emerges majestically between mountains. Its roots sink into the memory of ancient indigenous peoples, custodians of ancestral secrets, surrounded by imposing pyramidal mountains that keep minerals and energy in their eternal embrace. The pisco wineries, relics of the past, keep within their walls the flavor of generations and the soul of Chilean viticulture. Here, in the Elqui Valley, the traces of the Diaguitas intermingle with the legacy of the Incas. In these dreamlike landscapes, the inspiring muse has embraced mystics and visionaries, being the cradle of the creativity that flourished in the mind of Gabriela Mistral, the award-winning writer and first Latin American woman to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. It is a canvas where the past and present merge into a masterpiece, inviting travelers to immerse themselves in the most authentic and enriching essence of Chile.

Great Tour

We had a great day exploring Elqui Valley. Our tour guide was amazing, and he took AMAZING photos - like the best of any tour guide ever. Highly recommend.

Elqui Valley is beautiful. You can’t go wrong with this tour!

This was a great tour! They take you from the foggy coast up in to the mountains where it was clear and beautiful. Our first stop had beautiful views. We then proceeded to go to the Elqui Valley and learned about Pisco. We also learned about a solar restaurant. Vicuña was a cute little town where we walked around then stopped at a boutique winery for tastings. Mathis’ knowledge of pisco and wine was impressive, as well as everywhere else we went. I highly recommended this tour!

Valley of Elqui Tour

Matias was our tour guide, who packed our tour with amazing sights. We did the Valley of Elqui tour. The scenery and small villages were amazing. The vineyards were beautiful. We had a brand new tour bus that was very comfortable. Would highly recommend this tour
