Enchanted Valley

The Tour

TThe Limari province and the Enchanted Valley have an astonishing transitional atmosphere, climate, and nature, its diverse geography, geology, and flora, captivated thousands of years ago to pioneer mysterious tribes of nomads that came from the Atlantic and Amazonas area, lured by the Andes, its pyramidal peaks, colorful slopes, precious stones, hidden valleys, and serpents rivers that flow into the Pacific coast to unique beaches with unknown marine life, and seafood resources. One of the most revered shelters of these tribes was the Enchanted Valley, a beautiful natural spring located in a hidden semiarid ravine considered the most important ceremonial, artistic, and shamanic site of Chilean prehistory because of its outstanding and strategic location, geomorphology, diversity of water springs, flora, fauna, and huge stones with wonderful engraves, paintings, carvings, and mortars that show an impressive past, surprising art, rituals and cosmovision of the first pre-Columbian shamans of Coquimbo region, the Molle Culture. In front of this ceremonial site, is located the northern austral forest of Chile, a place where the semiarid and desertic influences of Atacama meet the template austral cold weather of Chile, its ancient origins and the end of the world.
