    Good experience, but I cannot help but comment that unfortunately the guide did not know how to calculate the times of his presentation and at least 4 of us were left without being able to observe a planet. Which was the only one that could be observed that day. Everything else is very good. Recommendation to be among the first for observations.

Pisco Elqui Tours and Activities | Explore Chile's Enchanting Valley

Pisco Elqui is a charming village nestled in the Elqui Valley of northern Chile, known for its stunning skies, relaxed atmosphere, and beautiful landscapes filled with vineyards and mountains. This small town is a perfect escape for those seeking tranquility, stargazing, and a taste of Chilean culture. With its serene environment and warm hospitality, it welcomes visitors with a unique blend of natural beauty and local traditions.

A brief history

Originally called La Unión, this village was renamed to Pisco Elqui in 1936 to promote the Chilean origin of pisco, the national spirit. Over the years, it has become a key center for pisco production, blending Spanish colonial heritage with indigenous culture. The area holds a special place in local history and is known for its efforts in astronomical observation and organic farming.

Best time to visit

The village enjoys mild weather most of the year, but the best time to visit is from September to April. During these months, the days are warm and sunny—ideal for exploring vineyards, hiking, and nighttime stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the world.

Is Pisco Elqui suitable for families?

Absolutely. The village is safe and has a peaceful vibe. Families can enjoy outdoor activities, learn about pisco production, and experience the region's astronomical sites together.

Do I need to speak Spanish?
