About this experience

Experience that invites you to reconnect with your body, mind and spirit in a natural environment of the Elqui Valley. The place is hidden among mountains, a place that only locals know and that is rarely explored by visitors. There, the breeze caresses a forest of cacti and hawthorns, birdsong and the aroma of water and wild grasses create a sound and sensory atmosphere that enhances immersion in nature.
What makes this activity special is the combination of landscape, culture and wellness. We practice ancestral techniques that revitalize the body and calm the mind, such as synchronized breathing with conscious movements, cleansing techniques and mindfulness, while connecting with the principles of Andean Good Living. It is more than a walk: it is a brief spiritual retreat, a deep pause, a gift for the soul. Ideal for travelers seeking an authentic, transformative and deeply rooted experience in the Elquina Land.
