Quebrada del Rio de las Conchas

Reviewed By Hochopepa - Melbourne, Australia

Very worth visiting. There are multiple view points over 50+ km, however only really 3 major sights that involve a bit of a walk: garganta del diablo, el anfiteatro and los castillos. Garganta and the anfiteatro are within one km of each other, so it's easy to walk between the two. You probably only need about 1 hour to see both sites. To get here without a tour bus, take the flecha bus from Cafayate bus terminal. It stops at Garganta. Cost is 112 pesos. The bus leaves at 08.30, 10.30 and 14.00. Takes about 50 or so minutes. Beautiful scenery along the way! After you've seen Garganta, you can walk to the anfiteatro and have a look around. There is a bus stop right outside on the opposite side of the street where you can catch a bus back to Cafayate. Price is the same. Pay the driver when you get on. The bus comes at 13.25 and 15.55. other options invite hitch hiking! You don't get to see Los Castillos properly doing this, but you do get a glimpse on the bus. If you do want to take a tour, the are a few companies in Cafayate (e.g. ipuna) which will bring you here for about 850 pesos. The tour is at 2.30 p.m. and lasts for about 4-5 hrs. Can't tell you about the quality, but the Google reviews are not encouraging!!

The Hill of Seven Colors

Reviewed By _taisaalvarez - Buenos Aires, Argentina

Purmamarca is a really beautiful town , the church, the old tree in its yard, the hill , of course, the llamas, the food ( we bought empanadas and we ate them while walking by the streets) . It’ s a gift for your eyes & soul.

Anfiteatro Natural

Reviewed By MaureenAlaska - Darwin, Australia

I loved this area with so many amazing rock formations. It was a short walk into the amphitheater from our bus and we were fortunate to have a market seller play music for us with our guide. Such a lovely sound echoing through the rock formation. We were sad to see some silly young people climb up on the rock wall, surely that is forbidden.

Quebrada de Humahuaca

The valley contains numerous archaeological remains of pre-Columbian settlements.

Reviewed By Madka_Moska - Gdynia, Poland

It is - undoubtedly- one of the most beautiful Mountain views I have seen. And the town dotting the valley are so remote and interesting. I can recommend it to any nature lover I know :)

Salinas Grandes

Reviewed By FedericaT4 - Salta, Argentina

It took some time to drive to Salinas Grandes from Jujuy, but it is totally worth. The landscape, also along the road, is spectacular! Just expect to drive slowly because of traffic and also altitude. There are little villages along the road, with local food, nice options to stop. July is a busy month, just be prepared.

Paseo de los Colorados

Reviewed By Sallycp11 - Melbourne, Australia

I’ve already posted about the Seven colours hills and Purmamarca in a seperate post so will just sum up that this 3 km walk is very easy ( although it is at 2,500m) and you can get a little map from the tourist office and walk the 3km Los Colorado Poseo ( you can also drive but walking way better) to see all the colours and layers of the many hills formed from as long as 3-4 million years ago. You can climb some rock stacks fir better views and grab an icy pole and cafe at the end of the loop .
