Indian Valley Explorers - Tour Operador
Huasco - Olives, Ocean and Cacti (fullday)
Fullday (2 - 8 participants) Season: possible during the whole year
The coastal sector of Huasco Province in southern Atacama Region stands out for its eternal beaches, its scenic beauties as well as its olive
cultivation and the delicious products derived from the olives. The already famous olive oil of the Huasco Valley even obtained the recognition of
designation of origin in 2018 and since then it has its own respective seal.
We get to know the small town of Freirina – a place charged with history, that awaits us with its beautiful town square and its national monuments.
The Llanos de Challe National Park offers us an insight into the ecosystem of this area. During a 2 km hike we can marvel at the impressive views, the
desert flora and bizarre geological formations. With some luck we also can observe wild animals as for example guanacos, foxes, lizards etc.
In “Olivos Centenarios” we walk below the most ancient olive trees of Huasco Valley which reach the age of almost 500 years and we learn about
olive growing and the family history of the estate’s owners. Of course olives and oil can also be tasted.
During the course of our tour we have the option of brief stops to visit the salerooms of local producers of typical products
