Explore Chile’s Elqui Valley from La Serena with pisco, organic wine, mountain views, local lunch, and Gabriela Mistral sites.

“Guide/Driver picked me up from my location even though there was a stated meeting point. This was wonderful. Guide was down to earth and had lots of experience. Guide was able to conduct tour in both English and Spanish. He spoke both well. He was able to keep everyone engaged and had a deep understanding of the area and the locations we visited. I wasn't expecting much out of this tour and it far exceeded my expectations as I normally use a different tour provider.

Review of a private Elqui Valley tour from La Serena with pisco tasting, Gabriela Mistral museum, solar lunch, and port transfers.

“Buyer beware. Do not book this tour. The description is not at all accurate.

4.Classic Elqui Valley (Between vineyards and fruit trees)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 16 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $94

Review of the Classic Elqui Valley tour from La Serena, with pisco, vineyards, Gabriela Mistral sites, lunch, timing, value, and practical tips.

“Our guide was very professional and went out of her way to ensure that as the only English speakers in the group that we didn't miss out on any of the information. The stop off points were interesting and the lunch was also great. Our only criticism would be that we travelled through a lot of incredible scenery, and as a nature lover it would have been a much better tour if we were able to stop and take some of it in. It seemed a shame to drive by so much beauty and not be able to fully appreciate it.”
