Purmamarca, an ancient village nestled at the base of the legendary Hill of Seven Colors, is undoubtedly the most picturesque gem of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Its traditional adobe houses and quiet dirt streets feel like a peaceful step back in time. The hill itself is a breathtaking natural wonder; its vibrant, multicolored layers reveal millions of years of geological history, creating a stunning backdrop that changes its hues with the morning light. The experience goes beyond the views. You can wander through the "Paseo de los Coloradales," a winding trail that offers intimate perspectives of the red-rock formations, or explore the bustling craft market in the main square. Here, under the shadow of a centuries-old carob tree and the historic colonial church, you can find exquisite hand-woven textiles and authentic pottery. It is a place where the silence of the mountains meets the vibrant soul of Andean traditions, offering a profound connection with the heart of Northern Argentina

Geological Landscapes and Natural Contrast Continuing the tour of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, we will make an essential stop in Huacalera. This picturesque corner is famous for hosting the “Coya Pollera”, a formation of hills whose grains of colors and whimsical shapes mimic the movement of traditional skirts of Andean women. In addition to its visual richness, Huacalera is the perfect setting to witness the transition of vegetation : a natural phenomenon where the desert landscape begins to mix with greener and more fertile nuances, offering a unique perspective of Jewish biodiversity as we ascend in height

Iturbe and the Ascent to the Condor Open We begin one of the most exciting stages of the tour through the picturesque village of Iturbe. This quiet Andean corner, with its adobe streets and nostalgic atmosphere, welcomes us before starting the ascent towards the clouds. From Iturbe, the road takes us to live a total height experience until we reach the Apacheta Abra del Condor, the peak of our expedition at 4,000 meters above sea level. Here, on the natural boundary between Jujuy and Salta, we will stop to admire the vastness of the Andes and participate in the ancestral rite of the "apacheta" (stone offering), surrounded by absolute silence and panoramic views that will leave you breathless.

Colonial History and Andean Geology Discover Huacalera, treasure of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Admire the striking “Coya Pollera”, a formation whose sediments and natural folds faithfully mimic Andean clothing, creating an unrivalled photographic spot. Along the way, you’ll see a unique vegetation transition, where the high-altitude desert landscape mixes with greens that reveal the biodiversity of the Jujueño valleys.

The Natural Canvas of Maimará When you arrive in the picturesque village of Maimará, you will find one of the most impressive geological spectacles of the Quebrada de Humahuaca: the Palette of the Painter. This imposing set of hills owes its name to its extraordinary grains of colors, where the oxidation of minerals has created natural brushstrokes of ochre, yellow, red and orange tones on the mountainside. This landscape, declared a World Heritage Site, offers its best version in the evening sunlight, which intensifies its nuances and creates perfect contrasts for photography. To contemplate the Painter’s Palette from the route is to connect with the force of Andean nature and understand why this corner of Jujuy is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for artists from all over the world.
