- Regular Excursion to the Humahuaca Gorge
We'll travel to Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage site located on the outskirts of Jujuy province, just a few kilometers from the Bolivian border. This excursion will allow us to appreciate the most impressive colors of northern Argentina, its culture, its unique cities, and its people.
We'll leave the city of Salta, exiting through the city's central access, taking National Route 9 and entering the municipality of General Güemes via National Route 34. Further on, we enter the sister province of Jujuy, where we'll have the opportunity to visit the great Quebrada de Humahuaca, known for its imposing landscapes and picturesque towns such as Volcán, Purmamarca, where we'll find the majestic Cerro de los 7 Colores (Seven Colors Hill); Tilcara; Humahuaca, the largest town in the ravine; Uquía, a small town home to the 17th-century church of San Francisco de Paula, home to ancient paintings of the Archangels of Cusco, Peru, painted during the colonial era; Huacalera, where we'll step into the imaginary Tropic of Capricorn; and finally, La Palette del Pintor (Palette of the Painter) in Maimará.
Humahuaca will be the longest stop (between two and three hours), where you can enjoy a lunch featuring the best regional dishes, especially llama meat, and also explore the city, where culture takes over the streets. Carnival is a major theme here, as it is the epicenter of the celebration.
After lunch, you start your way back, alternating stops.
During the tour there are stops to walk and take photos!
