Iruya by Humahuaca from Jujuy
Discover the stunning high valleys of northern Argentina on this full-day excursion through Jujuy. Departing early in the morning, you will visit picturesque towns rich in history and culture, including Purmamarca, home to the breathtaking Hill of Seven Colors, and Huacalera, where you can see the Pollera de la Coya. As you continue past Humahuaca, the landscape becomes increasingly arid and dramatic, with scenic cornice roads, deep canyons, and spectacular mountain slopes. Passing through Iturbe, you will reach the highest point at the Apacheta Abra del Cóndor, 4,000 meters above sea level. Surrounded by towering peaks, you will arrive in the magical village of Iruya, known for its simplicity and steep cobblestone streets. Stop in Humahuaca for free time and lunch. On the way back, visit Uquía, the Tropic of Capricorn, and the Painter’s Palette in Maimará, with photo stops throughout.
