Valle del Elqui Travel Guide

With poets, sun worshippers and distillers of spirits

Valle del Elqui perfectly illustrates how people have tried for thousands of years to sustain in the desert. The grave of Gabriela Mistral (1889 until 1957), the poetess crowned with the Nobel Prize who has poured her native country into the poetry, can be found in Montegrande. Valle del Elqui owes its glory not to poetry but sturdy pleasures: The grapes cultivated here are distilled to Pisco, the national schnapps of Chile. The mysterious Valle de Cochiguaz, a valley with many mystics, sun worshippers and UFO believers, lies next to Monegrande.
