Horseback riding in the Cochiguaz River Sanctuary in the Elqui Valley.

Travel back in time to the cradle of the best muleteers and horsemen of the Andes to relive the journeys and adventures of those who searched for gold and transported alcohol from the Elqui Valley to Potosi.
We will enter one of the most beautiful and mysterious valleys of South America that for centuries received diverse indigenous cultures and witnessed the arrival of glittering mythological beings half man and animal, Spanish conquerors who would stay to perpetuate their culture and give life to the daring muleteers of Elqui, one of the most recognized valleys and mountain destinations in Chile for being the cradle of the most emblematic cultural treasures of our country. Surprisingly in the 70's, unexpected and enigmatic visitors from India, Tibet and Europe would begin in Cochiguaz the search for an unknown planetary energy that over the years would be revealed to humanity and that would motivate the pilgrimage and arrival of numerous mystics who would initiate a series of cults and rituals of healing and spiritual elevation. We will explore on horseback as ancient conquerors, lush labyrinths of medicinal native flora and surviving trees that give shelter next to the pristine river, small lagoons, springs and new generations of explorers who relive those exploits under the illuminated skies and gigantic mountains full of quartz, gold and energy. In this search for that mythical Dorado we will find ancestral sanctuaries and natural paradises where the most transparent waters of the Andes emanate in an unprecedented journey through ancient settlements of shaman molles, Diaguita potters, Inca engineers and mystical alchemists who assure the presence of an energetic portal and new planetary chakra of the Aquarius era, because this place is in the antipodal latitude to Tibet, Cairo and Jerusalem.
