We'll start the sightseeing tour from the cities of Coquimbo and La Serena, 40 km to the north, heading towards the town of Quebrada Honda, where we'll venture into an inland valley of unique beauty in terms of native flora and sclerophyllous forest.
Upon arrival, we'll visit one of the oldest churches in the Coquimbo Region, which has significant remains from the conquest period, dating back to the 17th century. We'll also learn about the work of local entrepreneurs involved in goat farming, taking part in a country-style food tasting in the property's centuries-old orchards. You'll be able to explore the place and learn more about the Spanish route.
Afterwards, with trekking poles in hand, we'll set off on a 15-minute hike in search of archaeological pictographs left by the ancient indigenous peoples who inhabited this valley.
Afterwards, we'll visit a local beekeeper who will show us her flowering desert honey business, her beehives, and the important conservation work she does. We'll have the opportunity to buy her honey-based products, such as royal jelly cream, shampoo, soap, and more.
Finally, we'll have lunch at a local restaurant serving coastal cuisine.
