Elqui Valley - Short Excursion for Cruise Trips
If you visit the Coquimbo Region of Chile, the Elqui Valley is a must-see. The Elqui Valley is not just a place, but several towns that formed around the Elqui River, making this area a must-see worldwide.
It stands out for having the clearest skies in the southern hemisphere, which places it in first place for astronomical observation. Its privileged geographical and climatic conditions allow for the cultivation of vineyards, where the famous grape distillate called PISCO is produced, as well as wine varieties.
The Valley brings us into direct contact with nature, provoking different sensations, observing how the vineyards cover the hills and everything revolves around the production of this fruit. Narrow streets and mud and straw houses will accompany us on this tour.
Don't miss this tour and let yourself be surprised. Come live this great experience with us.
