Hello from Pisco Elqui!

02.12.2010


Pisco is the national drink of Chile (unless you’re talking to someone from Peru in which case there’s this whole controversy). It’s an alcohol distilled from grapes and put into a pisco sour which is served at pretty much every restaurant in the entire country. We’re touring the valley where they grow and manufacture pisco and seeing a couple plants. We’ve also been to fresh fruit stands, artisan fairs, museums, ice cream shops, parks and all kinds of various touristy bits of the elqui valley. We are at the final stop in a town called Pisco Elqui, the birthplace of pisco.
