Humahuaca`s Gorge & Iruya - 2 Days - Private Journey To Iruya

The tour commences with a hotel pickup in Salta at 07:00 AM

Guided by local experts, we venture to the Quebrada de Humahuaca region, beginning with a stop in Purmamarca. Here, you’ll marvel at the Cerro de los Siete Colores, explore the Church, and browse the Artisan Market in the plaza. We continue our journey past the Horn Post, making our way to Tilcara to explore Pucará and the Archaeological Museum.

Our next destination is Huacalera, where we cross the Tropic of Capricorn. From this point, you can admire the vibrant hues of the Pollera de la Colla Hill. We’ll visit the Church of Uquía, home to the renowned Angels Arcabuceros paintings, significant examples of Cuzco-style art. We then reach Humahuaca, noted for its impressive Cathedral and the Monument to Independence (El Indio) by sculptor Soto Avendaño.

Continuing our expedition, we traverse through the village of Iturbe and Abra del Cóndor (3900 meters above sea level) to arrive at the entrance of a quaint canyon, home to the pre-Hispanic village of Iruya. We will overnight here (accommodation not included), and on the following day, embark on our return journey to Salta, stopping in the city of San Salvador de Jujuy.

We will arrive back at our hotels in Salta by the afternoon.
