Overview

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 flavour 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 travellers to immerse themselves in the most authentic and enriching essence of Chile.
