Quebrada de Humahuaca

Mentioned on

Ravine
Outdoor Activities
Quebrada de Humahuaca is a narrow desert valley in Argentina, known for its stunning multi-hued rock formations and indigenous Quechuan villages. Visitors can experience the celebrated Carnival of the Quebrada de Humahuaca and explore the Warmi llama and lambswool textile factory in Palpala. The area includes the famous "Rainbow Mountain" called Hornocal.
Quebrada de Humahuaca is the entire area where Hornocal is the name of the actual "Rainbow Mountain" in Quebrada de Humahuaca. My wife and I stayed in Tilcara which is an AMAZING small town with literally the best food we had after staying for 3 months in Argentina! We preferred the town of Tilcara over Humahuaca personally. Better housing options as well. The people are super nice. Culturally it seems more similar to Bolivia which you are not too far from the border. It's a fairly easy drive from the Salta Airport to Tilcara or even just all the way to Hornocal or Humahuaca. This was one of our favorite times in all of Argentina. It's much larger in person than we thought and the colors are fairly vibrant. Keep in mind the elevation is higher than Machu Picchu so drink some local coca tea and bring chocolate before you go! Ali (my wife) almost fainted so that's the one down side. There's literally an ambulance waiting at the top because heart problems are so frequent. Also, people will tell you that you need to rent a tour from Humahuaca but that's a lie - you can DEFINITELY drive yourself. The roads are gravel from Humahuaca to Hornocal but absolutely doable even in a sedan like we had. Just drive a bit slow and you'll get there in 40 min - 1 hour. Between the food, local arts & crafts, views, and overall vibe this is a 10/10 experience in Argentina and HIGHLY recommend! Full video review @Hobarts Abroad YouTube and TikTok

This is one of the most beautiful natural sceneries in the world. The drive to Hornocal is a bit long and uncomfortable (unpaved road for 20km) but the view of the "cierro de los 14 colores" is all worth it (picture attached). Absolutely stunning, a must see if you are in the area.

Marcelo R — Google review
(Translated by Google) Beautiful place, highly recommended. Be extremely careful when descending and hiking back down; the return trip is very treacherous. You're at 4,350 meters above sea level, and the climb back up is breathless and difficult. Don't push yourself; take it slow and patiently. The scenery is wonderful, and the place itself is beautiful. There's an entrance fee of $2,000. You can drive, although some sections are very rough. A truck or 4x4 is much better and easier. That way, you don't put so much strain on your car at such a high altitude. You can also take a tour; the more economical options cost $20,000 per person. You travel in a 4x4 and arrive in no time. (Original) Hermoso lugar, super recomendable. Muchísimo cuidado cuando bajen y hagan la caminata, la vuelta es muy traicionera, estas a 4350 metros sobre el nivel del mar, al tener que subir, te falta el aire y te cuesta respirar. No hay que exigirse, hay que hacerlo despacio y con paciencia. El paisaje es maravilloso, el lugar también. Tenes que pagar $2.000 para entrar. Se puede ir en auto, aunque hay tramos muy feos. Por ahi en camioneta o 4x4 es mucho mejor y mas fácil. Asi no exigis tanto el auto, al estar tan arriba. Podes ir en tipo excursión, las económicas te cobran $20.000 por persona, vas en 4x4 y llegas en un toque.

(Translated by Google) Tremendous! Incredible! The best view of Jujuy is to stay and look at it for a couple of long hours. The road is gravel but only 45 minutes by car, the entrance fee is $100 per car, I mean nothing and that view is worth much more. If you go to Humahuaca you have to go see this, no photo I took shows how impressive the place is, I was amazed! (Original) Tremendo! Increíble! La mejor vista de jujuy, es para quedarse a mirarlo un par de horas largas. El camino es de ripio pero solo 45min en auto, la entrada son 100$ por auto, osea nada y vale mucho más esa vista. Si vas a humahuaca tenés que ir a ver esto, ninguna foto que saqué muestra lo imponente del lugar, quedé maravillado mal!

(Translated by Google) It is the second time I have visited this beautiful place. The road is gravel, and is in good condition, the maintenance with machinery is noticeable. I found a simple sector of stalls that consists of a toilet, shops selling crafts and tortillas. The most important thing is to see the mast with our flag flying!!!! 🇦🇷This caused me great emotion, since having the privilege of possessing such a beautiful landscape deserves to make visible that it belongs to us. (Original) Es la segunda vez que visito este bello lugar. El camino es de ripio, y se encuentra en buen estado, se nota el mantenimiento con maquinarias. Me encontré con un sencillo sector de puestos que consta de sanitario, locales de venta de artesanías y tortilla. Lo más importante es ver el mastil con nuestra bandera flameando!!!! 🇦🇷Esto me provocó una gran emoción, dado que tener el privilegio de poseer tan bello paisaje amerita hacer visible que nos pertenece .

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen in my life 😍 We left by bus from Purmamarca to Humahuaca. Buses leave from the bus station and charge $2,500 per person. The cost includes the trip, a stop at a very nice viewpoint and an hour's wait at the place. It takes approximately 45 minutes to arrive. I recommend going very warm since at that altitude the wind blows very strong. The climate is totally different from that of the city. Go with candies/coca leaves as it is very easy to score. Upon arrival you can contemplate the Hornocal from a kind of viewpoint or advance about 500 steep meters to have a much closer view 🙌. Although this section is a little difficult, especially the return, I highly recommend it, the result is amazing!!! The place is magical, the colors, the immensity. An unmissable visit ❤️❤️ There is also an igloo where they sell souvenirs and typical things from the place. (Original) Uno de los lugares más hermosos que vi en mi vida 😍 Salimos en micro desde Purmamarca hasta Humahuaca. Desde la terminal de micros salen las combis que te cobran $2500 por persona. El costo incluye el viaje, una parada en un mirador muy lindo y la espera de una hora en el lugar. Se demora unos 45 minutos aprox llegar. Recomiendo ir muy abrigado ya que en esa altura el viento sopla muy fuerte. El clima es totalmente diferente al de la ciudad. Ir con caramelos/hojas de coca ya que es muy fácil apunarse. Al llegar podes contemplar el hornocal desde una especie de mirador o bien avanzar unos 500 metros empinados parar tener una vista mucho más cercana 🙌. Si bien este tramo se dificulta un poco, sobretodo la vuelta, lo súper recomiendo, el resultado es alucinante!!! El lugar es mágico, los colores, la inmensidad. Una visita imperdible ❤️❤️ También hay un iglú donde venden recuerdos y cosas típicas del lugar.

Historical landmark

Nestled in the heart of Humahuaca, the Monumento a los Héroes de la Independencia stands as a striking tribute to the Army of the North, which valiantly fought for independence in Northern Argentina. This impressive structure draws visitors daily, captivating them with its historical significance and architectural grandeur. The monument's towering presence is complemented by its intricate stone walls and staircases that invite exploration.
Sept.25: a must see when you are in Humahuaca. It represents some historical landmark. Along the stairs there are vendor shops, which start to open around 4.30PM & selling all kind of stuff. There was also lot of police control patrolling in this touristic area.

Impressive monument compared to the size of the town, probably a bit too much… but historically very telling on the efforts of the central government to make everyone feel part of the same country even in such remote and culturally diverse and rich locations

Impressive scale for the statue and the stairwells. The lights were unfortunately flickering my and some weren’t working which always makes the monument look sad. Still, it was beautiful and impressive to see in this small cute town.

Free to see. It’s size impacts you because it’s in this tiny little mountain town. At the top of the stairs, above the Humahuaca sign, can’t miss it. However, it’s nothing more than a pit stop or a nice “wow” moment when passing for a tourist.

Pucará de Tilcara is a significant pre-Inca archaeological site located in the southern outskirts of Tilcara. It was originally built by the Omaguaca tribe in the 12th century and later declared a National Monument in 2000. The hilltop town offers well-preserved ruins, including ancient dwellings and a town square, providing insight into how this indigenous tribe lived.
Gorgeous desert landscape in a cool archeological site. There is an optional informative tour and when I overheard the guide, he seemed very knowledgeable.

Nice small town. You can find knick-knacks in the main square. There is a public restroom that you have to pay to access. Pretty common practice in that area Then we visited the botanical garden which it’s a must.

Sept.25: we went late afternoon by car, the road is very bumpy, but could do it by regular car. The tour was already closed, so we looked around by ourselves & went up the Mirador Cerro de la Cruz (viewpoint). It's a steep walk up, but rewarding views from top! There was a sign that you could call to visit the Cueva del Wayra caves (for next day), but no response either...
Petra ( — Google review
Amazing place, so steeped in history. I loved the explanations on the signs and the brochure, which helped to explain the effects of the outsiders on the settlement: First the Incas, then the Spanish, and finally the incompetent archeologists of the 1930s. I wandered up and down for two hours, really super interesting.

Waterfalls
Garganta del Diablo Waterfall, situated in the town of Tilcara along Route 9, is a popular destination for visitors. You can reach the entrance by hiking from town or taking a taxi. The hike offers stunning views and locals at the top offer snacks and manage the viewpoint within their community. While the waterfall itself is small, the surrounding landscape is truly awe-inspiring.
Really enjoyable & scenic hike from Tilcara. Moderate intensity. It’s 3000 for both nationals and tourists to visit.
SEB W — Google review
Very nice walk to the falls, beautiful nature trail. As others noted it's not the largest waterfall but it's beautiful. It cost 1000 pesos ($1) to enter but that seemed a very reasonable fee, they do a great job maintaining the trail and keeping the area clean. The only negative for me was the road up is a bit rough, not the worst we've been on but not the best. It was quite narrow and winding at points and as this is a fairly popular spot that means having to negotiate passing a number of times as you drive up and down. My wife is not a fan of heights and this road was definitely stressful for her.
Dave R — Google review
Great. The way back is mostly uphill, although not very difficult (but not very easy as well), something like six kilometers from the town center along the wonderful desert landscape here. Entrance costs 4000 pesos. When you arrive, there is one waterfall that is not at its peak at this time of year, although it's shape is uniqueb. From there you go left for something like 600 meters on a spectacular path, along a flowing stream, rocks of different colors and very beautiful textures, until you reach the second waterfall, which is very beautiful. A trip that is well worth doing, in fact most people come to the beautiful Tilcara mainly for this.
Gad T — Google review
Nice little hike. From the payment area (we paid 1000 pesos/person), you can choose the longer hike 600m hike to the waterfall and/or the shorter hike to see the Garganta del Diablo viewpoint. The waterfall hike is fun, but we went over lots of little creeks and I was glad I was wearing my waterproof trail runner. Note: you can get to the payment area lot by hiking a longer hike from town or by driving up a very narrow dirt road with steep cliffs off to the side. Bring lots of water and sun protection.
Emilie — Google review
Pretty views and a nice short hike, but a pain to get there by car. We got a flat tire with the rocks on the way down.
Javier K — Google review
We took a taxi up (13,000 ARS), which had great views from the road. We did hike back down the trail. I would recommend the ride up and hike down. It provides two very different views / experiences. While rocky, the hike down is fairly easy. Very beautiful water fall and small hike to it from the parking lot. Amazing views down the valley with the mountains in the background. The different colors of the rocks, just gorgeous!
Rray G — Google review
Beautiful place❤️ Trekking is about 30mins. The nature around is stunning !___ххх___!!! If you like long distance trekking, you can walk from the city (Tilcara) to the Waterfall (probably it takes around 3hs), and it would be really exhausting. I would recommend to take a taxi to the park (one way costs 300ARS) and after trekking, walk by to the city.

The Hill of Seven Colors, also known as Cerro de los Siete Colores, is a stunning natural wonder in Argentina. This jagged rock formation boasts a mesmerizing display of pastel hues including lavenders, oranges, and yellows. While it may be challenging to spot all seven colors at once, the morning sun illuminates the rocky surface with a breathtaking spectrum of colors.
The Seven Colors Hill is a true gem in Purmamarca. At sunset and especially sunrise, the colours are popping and it's a perfect time to get some pictures. Walking around the central square, there's plenty of locals selling false alpaca clothing all made in Bolivia. There, you have a great view over the hill and don't really need to pay for a better observation site.

(Translated by Google) We took a tour of the Government Palace with a guide, who took us to a room to show us a video of the Jujuy Exodus. It was very, very good, animated, and the seats moved as if we were in the carriage. I was amazed. The Palace, of course, is beautiful, very well preserved. A beautiful visit, I was amazed. It's a shame I didn't make it in time to enter the Cathedral; it closes at 1:00 PM and opens at 5:00 PM. The Palace closes from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. (Original) Hicimos una recorrida con una Guía del Palacio de Gobierno, donde nos llevó a una sala para mostrarnos un vídeo del Éxodo Jujeño, muy muy bueno, animado, se movían los asientos como si estuvieramos en la carreta. Me sorprendió. El Palacio, ni hablar, bellísimo,muy bien conservado. Hermosa visita, quedé sorprendida. Lastima que no llegué a tiempo a entrar a la Catedral, a las 13 hs cierra y abre a las 17 hs. El Palacio cierra de 13 a 15 hs.

(Translated by Google) Majestic, a true palace, full of details in its architecture and in perfect condition. I recommend calling the number listed in the description and coming to see it during the guided exhibition schedule. The room where they project a recreation of the exodus is an experience for the senses. (Original) Majestuoso, un verdadero palacio, lleno de detalles en su arquitectura y en perfecto estado de conservación.

San Bernardo's Hill, also known as Cerro San Bernardo, is a popular spot in Salta for outdoor activities and relaxation. It offers stunning panoramic views of the city from its summit, which can be reached by climbing over 1,000 steps or taking a cable car from Parque San Martin. At the top, visitors can enjoy a restaurant with gourmet dining options and explore beautiful gardens.
Beautiful place. Short trip but the views worth it. I recommend taking a cable car with large windows as it’s super hot there. Specially in a sunny day
Adriana B — Google review
Decent view from top. Some artificial waterfalls with dirty stinking water. Cable car is way overpriced. Either walk up or use your money for something else.
Bruno C — Google review
We were told that people come here in the evening to see the sunset. To be honest, it is not as exciting as watching the sunset on the ocean beach. The mountains change the way it goes. But it is a good exercise, 1070 steps going up, not very hard. If you are not fit for it, you can use taxi or the cable car. There are couple of restaurants with a good view over the city, which is very white.

Beautiful hill side that over looks the city of Salta. Worth the visit on a clear day. Several places to purchase beverages and food. Recommend bring a picnic basket. Access to the hill is via the aerial tram or car.
W O — Google review
It's quite an interesting place to visit with some great views over the city. The cable car costs between 15-20,000 pesos, but it can be walked for free. The walk is fairly easy, just a series of stone steps but taking water is advisable. It's about a 45 minute walk to reach the top. There are vendors selling drinks and snacks at the start and up at the top, along with a cafe and some stalls selling souvenirs, local wines and beers etc. There are also a couple of basic calisthenic gyms and a playground. Toilets are also available free of charge. A good way to spend an afternoon in Salta!

This is a very nice view of the city. They have a really cute park and some artisan merchandise We didn't visit the restaurant up there but it looked like it had a nice view of the city.

Petra ( — Google review
Both a great tourist attraction and a fully functioning Catholic church (mass is celebrated daily), this is the main cathedral in the city of Salta. Not old, for European standards, it was built in the mid 1800s, it still boasts a richly decorated interior full of altars and religious art (paintings, statues and a wonderfully fresco painted ceiling). The cloister next door is small and not breathtaking, but still worth to see when visiting the cathedral.
Niccolo' B — Google review
Impressive example of decorative art. This building though is fairly recent. The atmosphere is cozy. The church has many security guards who are very helpful may you need assistance. It is a great place to pray or simply to admire the many different artifacts and sculptures.

Museum of High Altitude Archaeology

Mentioned on

Museum

Natural History Museums
The Museum of High Altitude Archaeology (MAAM) is located in a 19th-century building and showcases artifacts from the Inca culture found in the Andes Mountains. One of its most famous exhibits is the Mummies of Llullaillaco, which were discovered at a high altitude near the peak of Llullaillaco. This significant archaeological find dates back over 500 years and provides insight into Inca rituals and practices.
Absolutely fascinating museum documenting the discovery of three incredibly well-preserved Incan children who were buried as part of a ritual. The museum is fairly small, but covers a lot of information on the archeological team who uncovered them as well as the Incas and the rituals performed. There is only one body on display at a time for preservation sakes, but there is also another Incan mummy on display too in a separate exhibition. Cost for foreigners to enter was 12,000 pesos, less for Argentinan nationals and even less for locals. Well worth a visit.
MT M — Google review
Fascinating museum. We arrived at 11:10 and waited approx 15 minutes to enter the museum, buying tickets on the door. Really insightful if you have limited prior knowledge of Inca history and culture. An incredible opportunity to see The Lightning Girl mummy, very harrowing. Limited English translations so we missed understanding some of the exhibits, but to be expected in an Argentinian museum. The museum is quite small and can easily be visited within 1.5h. I’d love a larger collection and more stories, but overall a worthwhile visit.
Laura B — Google review
Great little museum. I was there for about an hr. There are some pretty interesting and intricate artifacts, but the highlight is definitely seeing the mummy and reading about the sacrifice. There are three mummies of which 1 is on display for 8 months at a time. You can see pictures/videos of the others however. There is also a 2nd mummy that was found in the 1920s (and lost on the black market until recently) that is also on display and looks like it’s from a horror movie. Great museum and a bit creepy. Especially with the eerie music playing.
Mark Z — Google review
Relatively interesting but small museum. I completely understand that tourists pay the double price compared to nationals and four time the entrance fee for people from Salta… however, since most of the explanation is in Spanish and there is only few elements translated in English… the price is not fair. You could, at least provide a paper with the translation in English
Heyfa A — Google review
Very interesting museum and a must do in Salta. The exhibition is translated into English (or at least the main exhibition is). I would recommend to anyone visiting the area. You can tell great care was taken in explaining everything as best as possible and showing things with respect. The price for a foreigner was $13,000 in July 2025. For a national it was $6,000 and for an Argentinian student it was $2,000. You pay for the tickets at the entrance. When we arrived they told us we had to wait 20 mins until the next group were allowed, even though we didn’t go around as a group, I guess this is to steady the flow.
Ella — Google review
Great museum. You learn a lot about the incas and their relation with the mountains. It took us about 1h to go through every and we found it perfect. I really recommend it during your stay in Salta.
Adrien G — Google review
Many interesting artifacts including the bodies / mummies of three inca children preserved by frozen temperatures. May be jarring to some and frightening to children, which one should assume at the mention of a mummy. Very interesting dark and quiet exhibit room, 5 stars for that on its own, but overall left me wanting a little more by the end.

Gondola lift station

If you're planning a visit to Salta, make sure to include the Teleférico San Bernardo in your itinerary. This charming cable car takes you on an exhilarating ride up to a hill that offers stunning panoramic views of the city and its surroundings. Tickets can be conveniently purchased at the base for around 2200 pesos for a round trip, with minimal wait times typically under ten minutes. As you ascend, you'll be treated to beautiful sights of palm trees and gardens, making the journey itself quite enjoyable.
Splendid view of the city. Just buy the way up as you can easily walk down through the forrest path on your way down.
Ludovic S — Google review
At $15000 / person this is an absolute rip off. We wanted to buy tickets at the kiosk but were told by the security guard to wait outside. We waited about 20 minutes before being allowed to buy a ticket. The ride itself is OK, but should be about half the price. Once you are at the top there is little there apart from overpriced retail concessions and toilets. The view is fine but there is no information or any walking routes once you are up there. Save money and get a taxi up, or take the 55 minute walk if you have the stamina.
Tim R — Google review
As a tourist you have to pay 20.000 pesos, for people 8.000. This is discrimitation. Discrimination is forbidden. I don't know what the gouvernement is doing with all that money, in their own pockets I think.

Very nice ride up the gondola, $6.25 USD per person at current market rate. Beautiful palm trees and walks, garden and view at the top. Also the option to walk up or down but it is pretty long. Water feature wasn't working which is too bad. There is a generic touristy restaurant and a highly rated resuarant but it's closed Monday and tuesday

When visiting Salta this one should be on your list , One gets a good panoramic view of the city and the surrounding area, The travel up and down the hill is quite fun, A small coffee shop to enjoy a drink and take in the view before the short return trip , The cost is 2200 pesos per person
Yuval K — Google review
I think the attendant should get more involved in moving the crowd into the cars. There was a fairly long line and some folks were going up only two at a time, when the cars could carry at least four individuals. It made things unnecessarily slow.
Sergio R — Google review
Teleférico San Bernardo is the station for the aerial tramway to the top of the hill. You can get the talk just walk-in, price is S.500 for a return trip, and usually there is queue for the ticket, but usually only took less than 10 mins. As each of the car is for 4 person, staffs may put you with other people together if you only have 2. However, if the queue is short, you may request to have a private car, staffs are friendly and usually ok to do so. After 10 mins will take you to the top of the hill, and the view is very nice in between

Thinking that this drive would be slightly less incredible compared to my previous days drives through the Salinas and El Hornocal, I couldn't have been more wrong. You start in Yungas and make your way ever higher to a marvelous red rock canyon which contrasts dramatically with the lush green vegetation. Eventually the road became dirt and climbed into the clouds only to emerge on a desert altiplano which descends to the famous Recta del Tin Tin, a road said to be in use since the Incas. Spectacular.

Garganta del Diablo, or the Devil's Throat, is a stunning natural wonder that promises an unforgettable experience. To reach this breathtaking canyon, visitors embark on an exhilarating eight-kilometer journey through the lush jungle in an open-back truck, followed by a scenic two-kilometer boat ride along the Rio Iguazu Inferior. The anticipation builds as you approach this magnificent site, where the sheer power of cascading water creates a mesmerizing spectacle.

The Amphitheatre

The Amphitheatre is a natural wonder located just a short distance from the popular Gargante del Diablo in northern Argentina. It features stunning red rock formations that were shaped millions of years ago, making it an ideal place for families with young kids to explore. The site offers free entrance and convenient parking, with local artisans selling their crafts and sometimes musicians playing music to take advantage of the natural acoustics.
Sept.25: again a great spot to stop if coming from Cafayate to Salta on the RN68, as it's only a few meters to walk to the free entrance. There's a big free parking. @our time of arrival the bathrooms were permanently closed. Some local vendors were selling minerals, clothing, jewelry, drinks & other small stuff. We arrived around 1PM & tour busses were already gone, only those with car were still there. So to have the place for your 'own' to get pictures you simply have to wait a little bit.

Inside you can find some artisan selling things and you might find people playing some music taking advantage of the natural acoustic. 100% recommended
Ruben P — Google review
The Amphitheatre is another nice presentation what nature can do. It's located just few hundred meters away from more popular Gargante del Diablo which we visited couple minutes before, so we stayed here less then there. Plus here were more people, so to be honest I liked Gargante more. If you are with younger kids then maybe this is better place for them to see stunning red rocks which were formed millions years ago in the past. Entrance is free...

Picturesque colored rock formations embedded with marine fossils, plus a natural amphitheater.
Wow, whst an absolute treat this adventure was. We rented a camper van in Córdoba and travelled all through this area. Stunning views around every corner. You really feel like you should be out on a horse, herding llamas while keeping an eye out for armadillos, iguanas and wild foxes, all of which we saw here. The colours and hues change through the the days and sunsets and sunrises are truly spectacular sights. Lots of stops along the way to check out canyons, vistas, caves, natural amphitheatres, etc. Roads are quite good although you do have to get used to windy mountain driving. Much more influence of indigenous people in this area. Different foods too.
Erik K — Google review
One of the most stunning drives I’ve ever done. The colors and rock formations are surreal—like stepping into a painting. Every few minutes, you feel like stopping the car just to stare. We took our time, pulled over at El Anfiteatro and La Garganta del Diablo (both a must), but honestly, the whole road is an open-air museum. Go around sunset if you can—the light on the red rocks is unforgettable. No entrance fee, just nature at its best.

And I thought southwest USA was unique! Northwest Argentina in general, and this Quebrada in particular, are just as spectacular, colorful and breathtaking. I so wish I had devoted more time to explore it. Do yourself a favor and spend time here.

History museum
Museums
Casa Histórica - Museo Nacional de la Independencia, also known as the House of Independence, is a significant colonial-era building in San Miguel de Tucuman, Argentina. It played a pivotal role in Argentina's history as it was the site where the country declared its independence from Spain in 1816. Despite facing years of neglect and subsequent reconstruction, this historical house still stands as a testament to colonial architecture and the events that shaped Argentina's destiny.
📅 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁: 8/11/2022 💬 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 - 5 Came here as we had a layover for the bus at the terminal, and realized all this time I've been in Tucuman, I hadn't seen la casa historica... the Independence Hall of Philadelphia for Argentina. 🗺️ 𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 - 5 La Casa Historica has a superb location near downtown, which is closed off to thru traffic, which I actually prefer for easy walking. 💲 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗖𝗘 - N/A There was no price to enter, it was free to the public, during typical business hours. 🏛️ 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗗𝗨𝗖𝗧/𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘 - N/A Not much of any services rendered, as it is a historical site. 📢 𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦/𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗞𝗦 - N/A Be sure if you don't speak Spanish that you have a translator, as it can be hard to understand everything. 💁‍♂️‍ 𝗘𝗠𝗣𝗟𝗢𝗬𝗘𝗘𝗦 - N/A Didn't really interact with any employees, but we did see two tranditional soldiers, that are similar to the British soldiers around the the queen's castle, they don't interact, they're primarily there for show.

It is one of the most emblematic buildings in the history and culture of Argentina. Although throughout its long history it has undergone many modifications, and one could say that little remains of its original construction, this does not take away its historical and symbolic value. It is recommended to visit it with the guided tours and the night show, which offers a historical overview of the independence struggle. This show lasts approximately half an hour and it is necessary to register in a list. Entrance is free.

Icon of tucuman and it makes a lot of sense to Argentiniana though it could be better explained for foreigners.
Nicolás S — Google review
Interesting place, well explained though in Spanish only. From a historical point of view, the account in the museum is accurate, balanced, and asks a lot of fascinating questions. Unless the debate republic vs monarchy, central vs federal, self government vs independence. Unfortunately it's all text, there's hardly any multimedia material except intro to the 29 representatives who signed the declaration of independence.

The museum should be bigger considering it has 5 or 6 floors but only two are available for tourist visits. Also all the activities after you pay the entrance fee should be already included and they aren't. Although the price 150$(pesos) isn't expensive, not even for Argentinian people or for International tourists.

The Centro Cultural del Bicentenario is a remarkable cultural complex located in Argentina, housed within a former government building dating back to 1868. This airy and modern space features three museums, each offering a unique and imaginative display. The anthropological collection stands out with its diverse array of indigenous ceramics, jewelry, and flutes, while the exhibition of mastodon and glyptodont fossils is equally impressive. The historical museum focuses on Argentina's independence movement and is set around an attractive patio.
This is probably the best museum I visited in the northern interior. Very nice collection and well displayed. The building is gorgeous, as is the plaza across the street.

Termas de Fiambala

Hot Springs & Geysers
Such hidden gem! More beautiful than hot springs / spas I have been to in Italy, Switzerland and Sweden combined! Make sure to buy the ticket in the town of Fiambala before going - the only way to buy the ticket at the entrance is with the app (but there is no reception) or to bribe the entrance guard ahaha). It is allowed to bring your own food and drinks so it’s worth coming prepared. Pools range between 35-45 degrees and are very clean! Absolutely marvelous!
Magdalena L — Google review
Absolutely amazing experience. There are a lot of thermal pools. Each one warmer than the other. There are tables with chairs where you just rest or pick up you meals while sighting the amazing views. You can spend all the day there. The ticket should be get it in advance... In the tourist office Fiambalá town. It's worth it. Really.

A jewel in the middle of the mountains. Ten natural pools of thermal waters 30 minutes drive from the Town of Fiambala IN Catamarca province. A MUST while visiting Argentina. Remember to call the city hall of Fiambala to reserve your spot. The complex is open from 8am to 10pm during summer. Please refer to their website or call since hours of operation and reservation may vary.

The cathedral features a mix of architectural styles, with neo-Byzantine influences being particularly prominent. Visitors can ascend to the Camarin, a beautiful mezzanine chapel adorned with original tile and stained glass depicting the virgin's story.
Beautiful church from the outside (instagram worthy you might say). Didn’t enter because service was on going but this church was in the middle of a large plaza where several people were gathered.

Great place if you're into museums and history. It is the birth house of Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, one of the best historical figures of Argentina. it has both audioguide and regular tour guide. A MUST VISIT if you're doing tourism. Plus, the tourism information of the entire state is just in front of it, so you can do two thing in one. There are also statues you can take photos(free) with of both Sarmiento, and some dinosaurs(the dinosaurs are across the street, not on Sarmiento's house)
