Located in northwest Argentina between the Andes and the fertile Valles Templados, Quebrada de Humahuaca is an unearthly valley with a desert-like atmosphere that’s defined by cacti, lamas, rugged mountains and colorful sandstone escarpments. Visitors today travel on ancient Incan trade routes past settlements that have been populated for approximately 10,000 years. Humahuaca is the largest town, but Purmamarca, Tilcara and Iruya also have spectacular scenery.
