Elqui Valley aerial view

Elqui Valley, Chile

East of La Serena, the Elqui Valley winds between bare mountains striped with the vineyards that supply Chile's pisco, past the villages of Vicuña, Montegrande and Pisco Elqui. Its dry air and dark skies make it one of the world's great stargazing regions, and its small boutique hotels are built around terraces, telescopes and views of the valley.

Elqui Domos

Seven geodesic domes on the road from Pisco Elqui to Horcón, built for clear-sky nights in the Elqui Valley, with private terraces and guided stargazing with professional equipment.

Refugio Misterios de Elqui

A small boutique refuge of cabins on the edge of Pisco Elqui, with private terraces facing the mountains of the Elqui Valley, an outdoor pool and a restaurant.

Terral Hotel & Spa

A four-star hotel a block from Vicuña's main square, with a 700-square-metre panoramic terrace for stargazing, hydromassage tubs, a large pool and a spa with saunas.

Enjoy Coquimbo – Hotel de la Bahía

The five-star hotel of the Enjoy resort at Peñuelas, between La Serena and Coquimbo, with sea-view rooms, pools, a spa, several restaurants and the casino next door.
