Full Day Tour

Huasco Alto – Flavours and Histories
Full day (2 - 8 participants) Season: possible during the whole year

Let yourself immerse in the very special world of the sunny upper part of Huasco Valley, where histories await you about Spaniards and “Naturals”, about families – peasants and producers of delicious typical products as e.g. the varied fruits, the goat cheese, the artisanal pisco and the “pajarete” (desert vine) – the last two with designation of origen in Chile’s Atacama- and Coquimbo Region. Get to know the colourful mountains which through their geological formations and their fossils tell you stories about ancient times when they rested on the bottom of the sea.

Enjoy with all your senses this place marked by agriculture in middle of the desert environment.
