Jujuy
The Quebrada de Humahuaca (UNESCO) paints the landscape in rainbow colors. Argentina's most indigenous province offers ancient cultures, high-altitude salt flats, and otherworldly beauty.
About Jujuy
Jujuy is Argentina's most visually stunning and culturally distinct province. The Quebrada de Humahuaca — a UNESCO World Heritage site — is a 155-kilometer gorge where layers of sedimentary rock create a natural rainbow of reds, purples, greens, and golds. The Cerro de los Siete Colores (Hill of Seven Colors) in Purmamarca is one of Argentina's most photographed landmarks. Higher still, the Puna altiplano reaches 4,000m+ with salt flats (Salinas Grandes) that rival Bolivia's Salar de Uyuni. Jujuy is Argentina's most indigenous province — Quechua and Aymara cultures are living traditions, not museum exhibits. The annual Carnaval is a pre-Columbian celebration that predates European arrival. For budget expats, Jujuy offers an extraordinary cultural experience at Argentina's lowest costs.
