Elqui Valley Full-Day Tour: Vicuña, Pisco Distillery & Gabriela Mistral Route

Disconnect from the urban rush and connect with the mystical energy, warmth, and clearest skies on Earth. We invite you on a full-day expedition to the Elqui Valley, a fertile oasis nestled between the northern desert and southern greenery of Chile. Globally recognized as a spiritual and geomagnetic hub, this sunny valley welcomes you with over 300 days of sunshine a year, dramatic colorful mountains, tropical fruit orchards, and the famous vineyards that produce Chile's national spirit: Pisco. Expedition Highlights: Pisco Tradition & Guided Tasting: Visit an iconic local distillery to learn about the distillation process of wine into pisco. Tour the fermentation tanks, aging rooms, and cellars, culminating in a tasting of premium Chilean pisco. Vicuña, Heart of the Valley: Explore the main town of the valley and birthplace of Nobel Laureate poet Gabriela Mistral. We will walk around its historic Main Square, the local church, and the iconic wooden Baüer Tower. Traditional Lunch Included: Enjoy regional gastronomy at a traditional local restaurant surrounded by Andean foothill landscapes. Montegrande & Gabriela Mistral Route: Journey deeper up the narrowing valley to the picturesque village of Montegrande. Visit the historic Schoolhouse-Museum where the poet spent her childhood and pay tribute at her memorial tomb. Sunset Scenery: On our return journey back to the coast, witness the breathtaking shift of lights and colors painting the mountain slopes as the sun sets.
