But the drive if you are in a standard small manual rental car is long and requires care. Guidebooks and locals tell you it is a 40 minute drive. For us it was closer to 90 minutes and the final 30 minutes was winding up to 4300 meters in 2nd gear pretty much all the way. Not fun. BUT it is an amazing place. We were there at about 3.30pm in summer. Seemed about the perfect time. Drive back (downhill) is easier.

A visit to Purmamarca village is stunning for many reasons. Driving into it is truly breathtaking as the roads are curvy and basically follow the lines nature wanted them to.So, you slowly descend into the village and on a sunny day the display of the seven colours is magical. The village itself is nested between hills and everywhere you turn, you see some beautiful colour arrangement. If you are ever in the Argentine north, this place is a must.

Incredible landscape! Very difficult to describe! You have to be there to enjoy its immensity and beauty!
I went by car but you can climb it as well. Morning is advisable rather than the afternoon. It has to do with the light.
So many adjectives come to my mind to describe the Cerro Colorado: stunning, amazing, magical, spectacular, peaceful among many others!
Highly recommended!

The road is spectacular with various geological landscapes and plenty of surprises along the multiple curves. It culminates at 4170m but remains a very easy drive all the way. Of course it is a bit less spectacular than other passes, some even at higher altitude, on gravel roads in the area but if if you want to get a taste of driving in the Andes it is a beautiful and easy way to do it, and further you'll get rewarded by the visit of Salinas grande on the other side of the pass.

Way up in north Argentina, about a five hour ride from Salta, or about 2.5 hours from Purmamarca (a great lunch stop), this 220 sq km of the great salt flat is stunning. You can walk on the salt bed (an inch or so of water covers it) for miles if you want to. It makes for great pictures and a sense of what nature can be. The ride to and back is very hilly and windy but a few stops on the way make it more passable if you are not into mountain drives in mini buses. Definitely a nature highlight of being in the North. We use Uma Travels and our English speaking guide Carugati Maria Eugenia (Maru) was amazing.

This is probably one of the most gorgeous hikes I've ever been on. A friend and I went on a tour of the caves with Cachamay (would definitely recommend following all of his advice– he knows the region well and can give you great food tips also!) and it was a good half day adventure.
We didn't bring enough water or put on enough sunscreen, so learn from our mistakes! Bring a backpack and more water than you think you'll need– there's a good portion at the end when you return to town where you'll be in direct sun without shade, so both of the aforementioned liquids will be much appreciated by your body.
The view is also stunning on the hike up, in the caves, exiting the caves, and walking back to town, so bring a camera if you like taking pictures!!
Also, don't do what we did and drink a lot the night before and return to your hostel at 6am for a 9am taking off to go hiking. Rest the night before. Every part of your body will thank you.

Amazing pre-Inca fortification ruins close to the city of Tilcara.
Reviewed By Stevetarn2014 - London, United Kingdom
For a small fee you can wander around the old ruins, town square and ancient dwellings. There is a gradual climb to the top, where you will find a rather strange modern building. The view here is superb. There are some huge old Cacti interspersed between the dwellings, a Llama farm and a cactus garden.

Un sitio en el medio de una montaña, en el cual se forma un cañon por el que pasa un rio. ademas de tener una vista panoramica de la quebrada de Humahuaca, tiene 2 cascadas. una para ser vista de arriba y la otra para apreciar su caida desde abajo, e incluso mojarse con ella

We set off on this walk early morning, although the initial trek is up hill and challenging it soon levels out before you reach the entrance. It's then steeply down and following the steam to reach the impressive waterfall. It's well worth the extra effort walking from Tilcara rather than taking the car.
