Quebrada de Humahuaca
Breakfast at the hotel. Full-day excursion to Quebrada de Humahuaca and pre-Hispanic towns. We'll leave Salta to make for San Salvador de Jujuy, where we will briefly visit the city. Then we will go on to the road that communicates Reyes with the lagoons of Yala, our first stop, to visit the lagoon in the base of the Chani Hill.

These 12 lagoons are 2000 metres above the sea level, surrounded by forests of pine trees. We'll leave Yala and El Volcán, towns that are next to the hills of Abra Blanca, Santuyo and Manzano, behind to go to Tumbaya, a place where the Omaguacas lived. Purmamarca: Here we will be able to delight in one of the greatest beauties of the Northwest: Cerro de los Siete Colores ("Hill of the Seven Colours").

First we will pass through Posta de Hornillos and Maimará, in the centre of the canyon. We'll see the multicoloured hills that complete the "Paleta del Pintor" (Painter´s Palet). We'll turn north, to go to Tilcara where we will visit the fabled Pucará.

Pucará is the reconstruction of the town of the pre-Hispanic Omaguacas, a culture that lived 900 years ago. Before reaching Humahuaca, we'll take a quick look at Huacalera and Uquía. Return to Salta
