Trip to the Elqui Valley

Papayas, chirimoya trees, various vegetables and grapes line the paths of the Elqui Valley. The hills are full of the cacti that are so typical of the local semi-arid climate.

The various varieties of Muscatel and Torontel grapes used in its production are grown here, processed and bottled on the spot. We will take you to the Los Nichos Pisco distillery. Here you will get an insight into the distillation process of wine into Pisco. Then you will drive to the Horcón village, known for its handicrafts, and then into the **Elqui Pisco Village.
