This 2-day tour invites you to discover the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a World Heritage Site, with unique landscapes, history and culture. You will visit Purmamarca and its famous Cerro de los Siete Colores, Maimará with the Palettes of the Painter, and Tilcara, where you can know the Pucará (not included). In Uquía you will enjoy its cultural tradition, and in Humahuaca, history and modernity combine. One of the most striking moments will be the Cerro de Hornocal, known as the “Cerro de los 14 Colores”, with its incredible natural tones. The tour also includes the Salinas Grandes, an immense salt flat of surreal beauty. During the trip, you will get to know the local culture, its crafts and gastronomy.
