Hotel Faro Del Valle — Hotel in Paihuano

Faro del Valle is a place of true tranquility. After checking in and drinking some complimentary cold bottled water I discovered that my cell Phoenix operator had no coverage and that no wi-fi was available. Being here through it did not bother me, it just made me enjoy my stay even more. The owner/staff were all so kind and service minded, though a speaking a bit of spanish will help you alot. The cabins are located in Hórcon bajo (low), meaning you are down in the valley with a view looking up to the mountains. It is easy to find, and a 10-15 minute drive from Pisco Elqui.||||The cabins are nice, and include queen size beds with memory foam mattress, along with bunk beds with a stafety rail for the top one (which does not seem common in Chile). There is a mini fridge, and a table top fan. The TV has many channels, and even some in English.||||It does get hot in the summer, so the pool will cool you off. I thought t was nice, but a few in my traveling company thought it was too cold, though everybody did swim in it. There is also a very sweet little toddler pool so they can safely cool off as well. When we were staying there, a hot tub was under construction and will be a great spot to view the night sky.||||The breakfast was, as very common in Chile, a bit on the sweet side. It offered all the chilean basics. Be sure to visit the recommended restaurant over the bridge, and have some local Elqui goat and pisco sour. Among the best during our four week...

Great place to stay at in the area, though more expensive compared to others. It's about 15-18 min away from the center of Pisco Elqui, but the place is quiet, and it functions.

The room is well thought of, there is a big window beside the bed so you could actually fall asleep while looking at the stars. The room has a heater, and the sheets were clean. The bathroom had soap, shampoo, conditioner, and the hot water was very nice. The bathroom also has a heater so you won't feel cold while inside.

They have a pool, so I would think it would be a very nice place to stay at during summer.

Hope to be able...

My friend and I stayed here for three nights before Easter weekend. It was PERFECT. Quite, the garden in full bloom was heavenly, breakfast was filling, the pool was cool but super refreshing, the Caracol is a healing room where I had a reiki session, and Frida... she is a guardian angel. She was helpful beyond words, attentive and a remarkable host. She knows EVERYONE. El Valle del Elqui is a special place, magical and mysterious....
