We walked from Vicuña and were offered a tour within 30 minutes in English or Spanish. We paid for the Capel tour (4000 pesos) and were really surprised by its great value. It included a 45 minute tour, 2 piscos to taste and a free glass. We really enjoyed our tour with Rafaela. She was very informed and taught us a lot about Pisco. We definitely recommend a visit.

Museo Entomologico de Vicuna

Reviewed By good_ants - Santiago, Chile

The "other museum" across town wasn't letting us in (even though it was dead quiet), so we strolled over to see this little one in central Vicuna. We "dropped a dollar" in the cup and gawked, squirmed and giggled at the interesting collection of insects, fossils, and models in this great museum. Definitely worth a visit that won't last an hour, just on the corner of the main square ('plaza de armas') in little, old Vicuna.

This national monument, whose grounds host the Religious Art Museum, is one of the most impressive buildings to survive the fire of 1680.
