Overview

This private tour offers a total immersion in the culture, flavors and mysteries of the Elqui Valley. Its unique value lies in:

Exclusivity : Being 100% private, you enjoy each stop at your own pace with a dedicated guide, without the rush of massive tours.
Sensory Contrasts: We combine relaxation in lavender fields, a premium pisco tasting in Capel and the tasting of exclusive organic wines at Cavas del Valle.

Sustainable Gastronomy: Lunch at Villa Seca, sampling typical dishes cooked slowly using only the energy of the Elquin sun.

Stories and Riddles: We visited Gualliguaica, the historic town relocated by the Puclaro Reservoir, and the UFO Lookout of Paihuano, to discover the details of the famous “Chilean Rosewell”.

A route designed to live the true magic of the valley!
