Excursion in the small north of Chile – FRAY JORGE NATIONAL PARK AND VALLE DEL ENCANTO
This excursion offered by travelArt takes visitors to the “small north” of Chile, located halfway between the fertile areas of central Chile and the Atacama Desert. From La Serena, the tour starts to the beautiful Fray Jorge National Park, a UNESCO biosphere reserve. You will find lush vegetation here, which offers a wonderful contrast to its barren surroundings. During a walk, you will learn more about the different ecosystems and plant species. Another highlight is the visit to the Valle del Encanto (Valley of Enchantment): a small, hidden valley that was inhabited by hunters as early as 2000 BC. It is characterized by the diverse archaeological remains of several pre-Hispanic cultures with over 50 petroglyphs and cult stones.

ECOTOURISM TURNING GUERRILLAS INTO NATURE GUIDES
Colombia in the last decade has been profoundly transformed into a country of peace with social stability, and one of the key factors in this process has been tourism.
Today, thanks to the signing of the peace process the ex-combatants had a second chance to put things straight and nowadays there are some who had become professional tourist guides in hiking, climbing, cycling, rafting and bird watching; guiding tourists, biologists and scientists throughout the jungle in several areas formerly occupied by armed groups (red zones), such as parts of Putumayo, Meta or the Amazonas.
Consequently, since 2018, more than 2,000 species of birds and 4,000 types of orchids have been discovered. We invite you to visit Colombia to discover its natural treasures.
