La Serena is a cheerful place, a mix of chic seafront and artistic old town, surrounded by a mystical and remote area of stunning scenery that climbs east into the Andes.

Tiny and impossibly picturesque villages — Montegrande, Vicuña, Pisco Elqui — dot the valley’s cultivated slopes and it is in these that Nobel Prize winner Gabriela Mistral lived and taught.

This is also the heart of pisco grape growing country and a visit just wouldn’t be complete without a distillery visit and tasting.
