The excursion takes you through several towns, but leaves little time in places with scenic views.

Discover the province of Jujuy on this day trip to Quebrada de Humahuaca, a mountain pass which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Quebrada de Humahuaca Day Trip

We'll pick you up between 6:30 am and 7:10 am from your hotel or the meeting point and set off for the beautiful town of Purmamarca, meaning "city of the desert" in the Aymara language. Our first stop will be at the Cerro de los Siete Colores hill, whose dazzling colours will take your breath away! We'll then enter the sister province of Jujuy, where we'll have the opportunity to visit the great Quebrada de Humahuaca.

The route will continue to Maimará, a small town located next to the beautiful natural landscape of the Paleta del Pintor, meaning "Palette of the Painter". You'll marvel at its red, yellow, orange and pastel tones, and it makes for a great photo!

Afterwards, we'll make our way to Tilcara, where we'll find out about a curious curse related to the Argentinean Football Team!

Next, we'll head to the Iglesia de San Francisco de Paula church in Uquía, where we'll admire the extraordinary paintings of the Harquebusier Angels, which date back to the Hispanic period. The tour will then continue along the Tropic of Capricorn to the famous Quebrada de Humahuaca, a spectacular mountain valley.

Lastly, we'll visit Humahuaca, the largest city in the gorge. We'll explore its historic centre, declared a World Heritage Site, and admire the great Monument to the Heroes of Independence. You'll have some free time here for lunch so you can taste the incredible gastronomy of Jujuy.

At the end of the trip, we'll return to Salta, arriving around 7:30 pm.

Humahuaca + Hornocal Mountains Day Trip

Perhaps you're interested in visiting the Hornocal Mountains during your visit to Argentina? Then this is the option for you! We'll swing by your hotel for an early morning pickup and make our way north towards Quebrada de Humahuaca, an awe-inspiring gorge, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Our first stop on this tour option will be at Cerro de los Siete Colores whose landscapes will captivate you!

Then, we'll make our way over to the famous mountain formation Paleta del Pintor, meaning "Palette of the Painter." After one look, you'll see why the colourful layers of this impressive site lend it its name.

Next up, we'll head over to the historical downtown area of Humahuaca. Here, we'll take a brief pause for lunch before jumping into a 4x4 vehicle that will take us to the Hornocal Mountains. We'll be greeted by the richly colored mountains, boasting over 14 different tones, and an abundance of minerals!

To finish the day, we'll return to Salta at about 7:30 pm.

Hotel Pickup

This tour includes pickup for hotels located within an 8-block radius of the roundabout in downtown Salta. If you're staying further away, we'll pick you up at the following point in Salta: Calle Belgrano, 550, behind the Salta Cathedral. Please note that we'll meet at this location when the day trip has many passengers, and it is not possible to visit all the hotels. However, please note that, if this happens, the local team will let you know with plenty of time in advance.
