Camping Rio Magico

Camping Río Mágico is a natural park and campground set in the heart of the Valle del Elqui, along the Río Cochiguaz near the community of Cochiguaz, about 108 kilometers from La Serena.

Surrounded by typical Andean pre-cordillera scenery, the site offers direct river access, clean water, and clear skies that make for exceptional natural stargazing — the area is recognized as one of the cleanest night-sky zones in the world.

The park is open year-round and stays true to its rustic setting while providing solid amenities.

Facilities include shaded camping areas, picnic zones, quincho shelters with grills, hot water, hammocks, an event hall, natural swimming holes, and shared bathrooms. A small on-site market covers basic provisions.

Activities available include horseback riding and trekking. Guests can also explore the "Piedra del Guanaco," a large rock bearing Diaguita petroglyphs that reflects the region's pre-Columbian heritage.
