- Excursion to the Quebrada de Humahuaca
We will travel to the city of Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the outskirts of the province of Jujuy, just a few kilometers from the border with Bolivia.
This excursion will allow us to appreciate the most impressive colors of northern Argentina, its culture, its unique towns and its people.
We'll leave the city of Salta, exiting through the city's central access and taking National Route 9, to then enter the municipality of General Güemes, via National Route 34. Further on, we'll reach the sister province of Jujuy, where we'll have the opportunity to visit the magnificent Quebrada de Humahuaca, known for its stunning landscapes and picturesque villages, such as:
Volcano
Purmamarca, where we will find the majestic Hill of the 7 Colors
Tilcara
Humahuaca, the largest city on the ravine
Uquía, a small village where the Church of San Francisco de Paula is located, dating from the 17th century, which houses ancient paintings of the Archangels, coming from Cusco, in Peru, painted at the time of the Huacalera colonization, where we cross the imaginary line of the Tropic of Capricorn
And finally, La Paleta del Pintor, in Maimará
The longest stop will be in Humahuaca, where you can taste the best traditional dishes of the region, especially llama meat, as well as explore the city, where culture takes over the streets.
Carnival is a central theme in this place, being the epicenter of this celebration.
After lunch, we will begin our journey back, making alternate stops along the way.
Along the way, there will be stops to walk and take photos!
