La Serena & Coquimbo Tour
Description
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in La Serena to start the tour. Did you know that La Serena is one of the oldest cities in Chile? Along the route, we'll learn some very important facts about the country.
We'll start the tour in the old town of La Serena, where we'll discover the city's history while walking among its colonial mansions. We'll see Plaza de Armas, the Archaeological Museum and the popular La Recova Market.
Our tour will continue along Avenida Francisco de Aguirre to visit the Open Air Museum of La Serena and arrive at the Monumental Lighthouse, the icon of La Serena par excellence!
Then, we'll drive along Avenida del Mar and Avenida Costanera in the direction of Coquimbo. On the way, we'll have beautiful views of the El Culebrón wetland and the Mosque, a replica of one in Morocco.
When we arrive in Coquimbo, we'll take a walking tour through the streets of the historic centre, where we'll visit the English Quarter and the Central Square. We'll talk about the indigenous people and the subsequent colonisation.
We'll then head to the village of La Herradura making a stop at Fort Lambert and the Cruz del Tercer Milenio. Don't forget your camera!
Finally, we'll visit Totoralillo Beach, where you'll have some free time to relax before heading back to La Serena.
After approximately 6 hours of hiking, we'll conclude the tour and return to your hotel.
