The Elqui Valley is the most valuable cultural and mountain destination in Chile, creator of the most emblematic cultural treasures of our country. Its illuminated atmosphere allowed the creation and development of various cultural practices that make it a dream destination for those seeking relaxation, inspiration, cosmic connection and advanced knowledge about Chile's cultural heritage. Its beautiful geography welcomed ancient indigenous peoples, churches and hacienda houses of the first conquerors surrounded by pyramidal mountains full of minerals, energy and a transparent atmosphere, propagated tropical, desert and Mediterranean crops and the oldest wine and pisco cellars in the country. You will discover the art of the Diaguitas, the legacy of the Incas, the origins of Chilean and Argentine wine, the advanced astronomical observatories and the places that inspired mystics and the first female Nobel Prize winner for literature in Latin America, Gabriela Mistral.

This was an awesome day! The local agency Tembeta is doing an outstanding job. Our guide Martin was very knowledgeable and we saw the nicest places in the Elqui Valley. We loved the stop at the Pisco Manufacturer and museum. The lunch was delicious at a special place, a solar restaurant. We visited the home of Gabriela Mistral and so many other beautiful villages. It was a wonderful day at the Elqui Valley.
