Elqui Valley: The Earth’s new energy hub
The Elqui Valley , dubbed by some as the new Tibet , dazzles with one of the clearest and most starry skies in the world , breathtaking landscapes and an energy that, according to many, seems to spring directly from the Earth's core.
Tibet , a vast plateau in southwest China , has historically been considered the spiritual heart of the planet. Its extreme altitude, sacred landscapes, and the millennia-old presence of Tibetan Buddhism have made it a center of meditation, pilgrimage, and spiritual energy.
According to certain esoteric currents, the Elqui Valley would have inherited that mission by becoming the new energy pole of the Earth , a place where the planetary kundalini energy would have moved to initiate a new spiritual cycle.
In this valley, the birthplace of Chilean pisco and located just 60 kilometers from La Serena , ancestral mysticism blends with contemplative tourism, creating an experience that has turned the Coquimbo Region into a cult destination for those seeking reconnection and spirituality .
Between enigmas and unproven mysteries
The Elqui Valley is shrouded in stories lacking documentary support, ranging from the legendary to the inexplicable . One belief suggests that monks from Tibet settled in the valley, drawn by its special energy.
Although there is no documentary evidence to support it, the idea of a spiritual and energetic connection between the Himalayas and the Elqui Valley continues to fascinate locals and visitors.
There's also talk of the enigmatic Magsat map (via Elqui Experience ), which supposedly indicates a positive energy point between 27° and 33° south latitude , with the valley right in the center. Science hasn't confirmed it, but many travelers claim to feel a distinct energy in this place, as if they were standing on an energy node of the planet.
One of the most compelling stories circulating in the valley claims that Cochiguaz , at 1,500 meters above sea level , is located on the geographical antipodes of Tibet —that is, on the opposite side of the globe. This alignment has fueled tales of energy portals and the disappearance of Buddhist monks who, according to legend, ventured into Cancana Hill and never returned.
Kundalini energy: From the Himalayas to the Elqui Valley
According to Indian traditions, kundalini energy is a vital force that also flows throughout the planet. These beliefs hold that its location changes every 13,000 years . For centuries it was believed to have resided in Tibet , but now, according to these theories, it has moved to the Elqui Valley , specifically to the town of Cochiguaz .
This supposed phenomenon has fueled a flourishing spiritual tourism , attracting visitors from all over the world to participate in yoga retreats , meditation and holistic practices in Valle del Elqui, a corner of northern Chile that fascinates travelers, astronomers and spiritual seekers.
The New Tibet: The documentary that unites science and spirituality
The fact that the Elqui Valley is the new energy hub of the Earth has become so important that director Jorge Lizárraga is developing " The New Tibet ," a documentary that seeks to explore the valley , combining science , spirituality , and meditation .
Inspired by the theories of writer Drunvalo Melchizedek , the production will address the supposed migration of kundalini energy from the Himalayas to South America .
The work will be structured around three pillars: a spiritual perspective on the phenomenon; a scientific approach, with interviews with geologists and experts in telluric energy ; and a third line dedicated to meditation as a bridge connecting with the environment.
The project will include a trip to Tibet to create a visual counterpoint with the Elqui Valley, imagining images where the Himalayas and the snow-capped mountain range of the valley merge as if they were a single portal . Among the key locations is a stupa in the upper part of the valley, where a guided meditation will take place alongside scientific measurements of the human body.
