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.
