Do you like sports? Then this activity is perfect for you, as we'll discover the beautiful natural landscapes of Cochiguaz on a hiking and cycling tour - the perfect way to get to know the Chilean Andes!

Description

From O'Higgins street in Pisco Elqui, where we'll pick you up at 9 am, we'll move towards the Cochiguaz river valley.

Upon arrival at this valley, we'll start the first activity, a low-difficulty trekking route through Cochiguaz. During the hike, we'll cover approximately 7 km (4.3 miles) while appreciating the Chilean Andean foothills.

Continuing the trek, we will traverse semi-arid forests and rocky terrain until reaching the ravine of Las Tolas. We will then proceed to the Cochiguaz riverbed, where participants may take a dip if desired.

We'll pause for a box lunch, including a salad and juice. Afterward, we'll begin a cycling tour of Cochiguaz. This cycling route, of intermediate difficulty, spans 16 km (10 miles) through scenic landscapes.

The cycling will lead us to the Enlightenment Stupa, a notable Buddhist shrine in the Cochiguaz Valley desert. From this monument, we will cycle back to our starting point.

There, the vehicle will take us back to the meeting point in Pisco Elqui, concluding the 7-hour tour.
