Pisco Elqui
A colourful village deep in the valley, surrounded by vineyards and known for its hippie atmosphere, boutique guesthouses and pisco distilleries.
The village was originally called Raunión. It was renamed in 1936 to emphasise the Chilean identity of pisco. The central square has a brightly painted wooden church, and the surrounding hillsides are covered in muscat grapevines. Guesthouses, yoga centres, craft breweries and vegetarian restaurants cluster here. The night sky is superb, making it an ideal base for staying and slowing down. The village is about 40 km from Vicuña, roughly 1 hour by minibus. In the area, you can ride horses, cycle, or visit small wineries.
