We will visit the Quebrada de Humahuaca and the small towns stopped in time that are presented along it, inhabited by mestizo population. The villages maintain the original layout with irregular roads up to the hills and the constructions with adobe or stone without cement, with mud and straw roofs. Of all the buildings in these villages, the one that stands out is the church, which is humble and small, dating from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The itinerary runs through the town of Purmamarca, famous for its hill of the Seven Colors, with red, orange, yellow and violet tones, depending on the time of day and the presence of the sun. Maimará is known for the hill Paleta del Pintor, also of a very attractive color.

Today we will visit the Calchaquí Valleys starting the tour in the Lerma Valley, an area of tobacco, cotton, sugar cane and fruit crops among others. We will take a tour along the Rio de las Conchas where we can see different geographical forms in the mountains, product of erosion over the years. The formations have names that identify them, such as Devil's Throat and Amphitheater and their origins date back more than sixty million years. The landscape that we will see is a product of the dryness and aridity of the environment. We advance towards the border with the province of Tucumán and thanks to the geographical variety that is presented here, we begin to see extensions of vineyards. We are approaching the area of Cafayate where the Torrontés grape wine known worldwide for its excellent quality is produced.
