Elqui Valley Sacred Mountains & Cochiguaz River Horseback Ride (Antipode to Tibet)｜Chile

We will venture into one of the most beautiful and mysterious valleys in South America, which for centuries was home to various Indigenous cultures and witnessed the arrival of dazzling mythological beings, half human and half animal, as well as Spanish conquerors who would stay to perpetuate their culture and give rise to the daring muleteers of Elqui, one of Chile's most renowned valleys and mountain destinations, known for being the cradle of our country's most emblematic cultural treasures. Surprisingly, in the 1970s, unexpected and enigmatic visitors from India, Tibet, and Europe began searching in Cochiguaz for an unknown planetary energy that, over the years, would be revealed to humanity and would lead to the pilgrimage and arrival of numerous mystics who would initiate a series of cults and rituals for healing and spiritual elevation. Like the conquistadors of old, we will explore on horseback lush labyrinths of native medicinal flora and surviving trees that provide shelter along the pristine river, small lagoons, waterfalls, and new generations of explorers who are reliving those feats under the illuminated skies and amidst gigantic mountains rich in quartz, gold, and energy. In our quest for that mythical El Dorado, we will encounter ancient sanctuaries and natural paradises where the clearest waters of the Andes flow, on an unprecedented journey through ancient settlements of Molles shamans, Diaguita potters, Inca engineers, and mystical alchemists who claim the presence of an energy portal and a new planetary chakra of the Age of Aquarius, as this place lies at a latitude directly opposite Tibet, Cairo, and Jerusalem.
