Enchanting Cabins Surrounded by Vineyards and Fruit Trees in Chile

Walk around the village and discover its beautiful "plaza" with its shady old trees and colorful streets, taking a break to try one of the fresh fruit juices or a cold beer or simply rest a bit and watch life, Andean style. The pisco distillery Pisquera Mistral (right at the plaza) offers tours and samples, and across the street you can find the handicraft center (pueblo artesanal) of Pisco Elqui. Other destinations might be the grave and museum of Gabriela Mistral (winner of literary nobel prize) in Montegrande. You can also take a tour around the pisco distillery "Los Nichos" (4 kms direction to Horcón) or visit the handicraft market in Horcón. Of course you can also discover the surrounding area, the beautiful Elqui Valley, by going horse riding, trekking and biking, or you can take tours to the Elqui valley and the neighboring valley of Cochiguaz. There are also guided tours by car or by bike to the "termas" natural springs (La Hedionda), and there are motorbike tours, bike rentals (Enduro KTM) and astronomy tours to enjoy the clearest skies in the world.
