Experience a unique day in northern Argentina with this tour that takes you to two of the country's most iconic landscapes: the Hill of Seven Colors and the breathtaking Hill of Fourteen Colors, also known as the Serranías del Hornocal. This fascinating journey through the UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca blends natural beauty, ancestral culture, and charming historic towns.
We depart from the city of Salta via National Routes 9 and 34, passing through the Lerma Valley and General Güemes before entering the province of Jujuy. Along the way, we travel through the dramatic Humahuaca Gorge and visit traditional towns such as Volcán, Purmamarca—home to the colorful Hill of Seven Colors—Tilcara, Huacalera, and Maimará. In Uquía, we’ll see a 17th-century church that holds historic paintings of Arquebusier Angels brought from Cuzco.
Unlike the regular Humahuaca tour, this version continues to the Serranías del Hornocal, where we’ll reach a panoramic viewpoint over the stunning Hill of Fourteen Colors, rising above 4,300 meters. The view is unforgettable: a vast canvas of multicolored rock formations stretching across the mountain range. We recommend bringing your own picnic to enjoy after the visit.
We then regroup and begin our return to Salta, making several scenic stops to admire and photograph the Quebrada’s unique landscapes from different angles. This excursion is perfect for those looking to deeply explore the geography and culture of northern Argentina while visiting two natural wonders in one incredible day.
