Just 60 kilometres from La Serena, the Elqui Valley is one of Chile’s most fascinating destinations, often called the “new Tibet.” Famous for its crystal-clear skies and world-class astrotourism, the valley also attracts visitors seeking peace, spirituality, and a connection with nature. The mystical village of Cochiguaz and the Estupa de la Iluminación, Chile’s largest Buddhist stupa, reflect the region’s unique spiritual atmosphere. Beyond mysticism, travellers can enjoy hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and exploring the Andes landscape. The Elqui Valley is also the birthplace of Chilean pisco, offering distillery tours and tastings, alongside local gastronomy. It is a perfect destination for those seeking nature, adventure, astronomy, and authentic experiences beyond Chile’s traditional tourist routes.
