Illapel is the provincial capital and the heart of the inland valley. Its story combines archaeology, local culture and nature: rock art, mining history and a rural life still visible in the streets when the goat herds come down from the hills.

Its great natural anchor is Las Chinchillas National Reserve, the only place in the world where the long-tailed chinchilla is protected in the wild. Around it, riverside cabins, hot tubs and wellbeing retreats make Illapel a quiet base for exploring the interior.
