Hello! Mi name is Lorena. We live in the town of Pisco Elqui in the Elqui Valley in Chile. A place well known for being within the area of the clearest skies on the planet, with observatories like Mamalluca and also for being an energetic place, for its mountains full of quartz and magnetite.

We live 3 minutes from the town square of Pisco Elqui, a very quiet place, but quite touristy because it is the valley of the stars.
We include 3 meals.
In Chile’s Elqui Valley, Intergalactic Sightseeing Is the Star
Vineyards and orchards along the valley floor eventually gave way to cactuses stippling the flanks of steep ridges. The region has long been a getaway for Chileans, who flock to a string of small towns filled with centuries-old Spanish churches and distilleries that produce pisco from local grapes. After dark, however, attention turns to the skies.on the edge of Pisco Elqui, it would have been hard to imagine a more brilliant sky. Several miles outside town, near where this leg of the Ruta de las Estrellas dead ends against the vertical wall of the Andes
