El paseo de un día al Valle del Elqui fue muy disfrutable e interesante. Para empezar conocer el lugar donde creció Gabriela Mistral y saber de su historia de vida y algo de su obra fue muy enriquecedor. También la visita a la Pisquera Aba, una bebida con denominación de origen, muy sabrosa, sobre todo los Pisco Sour. Hermosas las vistas de la cordillera, y el almuerzo hecho en base a la energía del sol me encantó.

The views were great and the tour guide was very personable.
The pisco tasting could be improved, the explanations were good but we didn’t get to real taste pisco, only cocktails.
