About the Destination
La Serena gives you a romantic feeling for days gone by, with historically conserved streets and town squares, walkable parks and botanic gardens, and a breezy beach to stroll for hours embraced by Pacific currents and sand.
But most travelers flock to La Serena to go on the popular side trips to either Elqui Valley or to Punta Choros and Isla Damas. The valley trip winds you through the nearby dry valley that is perfect for growing grapes and was also the home of Chile’s Nobel-winning poet-diplomat, educator, and humanist, Gabriela Mistral. You can stop in at vintners, and breweries, and visit the childhood home of Mistral. If your side trip of choice is going north to Choros and Damas, you’ll be greeted by lots of wildlife, most notably penguins. Several tourists, however, equally extol the glory of Damas’ beaches which are surprising comparisons to those in the Caribbean.
Other activities in La Serena are going on walking trails in the Fray Jorge National Park, visiting the older sister- and fisherman’s city of Coquimbo, or just strolling through the city’s many markets and cafes that revive an old-world way of living.
If you want to know more about the fascinating environment around this beautiful city by the sea, the transportation service from Santiago to La Serena facilitates getting there in style.
