The staff were super nice people. They helped me explore ideas of things to do in VIcuña and even let me borrow their guitar.

Absolutely beautiful place with the most relaxing and peaceful vibe. Max is AMAZING, he made us feel so welcomed and was so fun to hang out with. On our last night we had a barbecue together under the stars and he helped us out by driving us into town for our bike tour. The beds are really comfy and we got our own living room area and hammock. The kitchen is fully equipped with spices, a stove, and a big fridge which was a bonus.

Secure walled compound was peaceful and attractive, with pretty landscaping. The host was gracious and fascinating to talk to, with an amazing, unexpected life history. He helped us line up an astronomical tour nearby for that evening, as one we hoped to take had been cancelled. Night staff received our delayed luggage for us while we were star-gazing, returning late. Owner preserves his own fruit and olives, makes preserves, etc. and sells them - a real foodie.
Lovely spot in Elqui Valley and very much worth a visit.
Lovely spot in Elqui Valley and very much worth a visit. However, be forewarned if you are not fluent in Spanish and are going for stargazing. We went to the observatory and planetarium and were disappointed to find no English explanation anywhere at all. Nada. My Spanish wasn't good enough to derive much comprehension or pleasure from the narrator's talk on the night sky, as amazing as it was to see. Chileans have a distinctive accent that drops syllables and speak very fast. The guide showed no concern or mercy, unlike most other Chileans we met who slowed down, repeated words, etc. Another bilingual tourist tried gamely to keep us informed.
I did NOT expect much English to be spoken in Chile, of course, but I'd hoped/expected that a tourist attraction with an international reputation would be different. Weeks before we travelled we emailed to ask if there was any English offered and never received a reply. Btw, there was plenty of English in various museums we visited in Santiago and an English audiotour at Neruda's incredible Isla Negra home. More annoying at the observatory tho' was that after the stargazing the whole audience was herded to an area where people were exhorted to buy corny souvenir photos. Unluckily for us, the strangers who shared our van up to the mountain top opted for the pix and we waited 75 minutes in the van til they showed up. Even the driver was fed up but he seemed unable to figure out what to do.

It is a small town with character.
It is a small town with character. You can reach the whole area if you rent a car, and enjoy places like the Artisan Market of Horcón, some of the Pisco distilleries, historical sites, etc. Tons of places to eat around the town Square with excellent food and ice cream. Our stargazing tour in Mamalluca Observatory was excellent. The Gabriela Mistral Museum is informative, easy to follow, and at the best international level.

Vicuña is not much of a destination by itself, but has shops and restaurants clustered around a central plaza. I recommend staying there as a base for exploring Elqui Valley. I suggest a few days in Vicuña for the vineyards and other valley sights, and a couple of days in a beachfront hotel in La Serena before departing.

A pleasant town to walk around, nice main square, many options for restaurants (we enjoyed El Chivato Negro) and the Gabriela Mistral museum is excellent. Well placed to tour the Elqui Valley for the day.

Charming town in a lovely area.
Charming town in a lovely area. There is a micro brewery and restaurant in town with top quality IPA on offer by the jug and excellent pizzas. The (motorcycle) ride up the valley to Pisco Elqui is very pleasant passing through small villages. A glass of Pisco Traditional (I think that was it, lemon and sugar anyway) at the restaurant on the square went down a treat.

One of the bigger towns in the beautiful Elqui Valley,...
One of the bigger towns in the beautiful Elqui Valley, Vicuna is a good base from which to explore the area. I would probably choose Pisco Elqui as a base if I were to go back, though -- it's more quaint, and you can visit the main pisqueras without having to drive afterwards (an important consideration, since a vehicle is necessary to explore the area). Key attractions / activities include the Gabriela Mistral museums and mausoleum, astronomy tours, pisqueras (Pisco distilleries), hiking, mountain biking, and even windsurfing in the nearby reservoir. The setting in between mountains is breathtaking. If you're into craft beer, don't forget to visit the beergarten at the Guayacan Brewery in Diaguitas (4 km away from Vicuna).
The Colibri hostal is a perfect place to come and enjoy Vicuña and the Elqui Valle.
The garden & the common area are really nice. Wifi works well and I was able to work from a few days.
Richard and the staff are really accommodating. Really nice breakfast and if you like Olives, you should definitely try Richard’s one.
Richard gives you all the tips you need and things to do around so you can enjoy fully your time.
The hotel is in Vicuña, which is centrally located for exploring the Elqui Valley. The hotel is walkable to the stores, sights, and restaurants in the town.. They have access to a big securely fenced parking lot that has an electric gate that the desk clerk can open and watch by CCTV. The rooms and breakfast are very good, and the desk clerk is helpful. The hotel has a nice garden and some architectural charm.
If you want the real Valle del Elqui experience you have to stay here! The area is great to see the stars and you are next to a natural pool and a creek. Tents are super comfortable, and beds are warm! Please notice that it is a real tent so there is not too much heating inside, but there is a small heater that helps ;)
Personnel is very helpful and they kept contact with us all the time via whatsapp.
In many ways, this is a wonderful hotel. The staff could not be more helpful. Diego, the proprietor, speaks perfect English and will help you with anything you need. The restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and is exceptional. The courtyard and setting are truly lovely. The room was very well appointed.
Campo de Cielo is a hidden paradise in the middle of the desert, a true gem near Vicuña. Max, the owner, has crafted everything on his own, resulting in an original and authentic haven with enchanting boho vibes. A must-stay experience that captures the essence of tranquility and creativity!
Beautiful hostal (more like a Hotel, really..) with incredible hosts. breakfast was complete and very tasty! rooms are super nice and free private parking too. Hosts Dafne and Juan Cristóbal are beautiful human beings and go
above and beyond for their guests. Super happy!
Lovely place in the sweet town vicuña. We stayed four days. It is close to the main plaza and all the restaurants. The apartment is perfect for two people. It is very spacious and has a neat interior. We enjoyed it a lot!
Very welcoming staff/host and grounds are very relaxing and comfortable. Short walk to the center of town. They gave some excellent recommendations on what to see and do locally. Would stay again if I return to Vicuña.
Very comfortable and tranquil stay in beautiful Vicuna. Great breakfast selection. Super helpful staff! We also paid extra for the jacuzzi, which was perfect after a day of biking - moon and stars were out!
Everything about this hotel was perfect. Friendly and helpful staff, comfortable beds, delicious on-site restaurant, and the pool and hot tub were a dream. They had laundry services available as well.
The common area was great and the host very nice! Super clean and centrally located - the host also recommended things to do in the Valle del Elqui, which helped a lot.
