Jujuy

For travelers, San Salvador de Jujuy, this province's capital, is the main doorway to the region. This city offers visitors splendid examples of colonial art, such as the gold-laminated pulpit of its Cathedral, carved in ñandubay.

Most tourists head for the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a vast Andean river canyon that boasts amazing archaeological treasures.

Purmamarca, Hill of the Seven Colors (Jujuy)

Nearly all American Indians' relics and works of art have been kept where originally found in towns and villages like Tumbaya, Pumamarca, Tilcara, and Humahuaca.

Pumamarca's steep landscape is stunning, particularly because of the polychrome strata that pile up to form hills and a unique mountainous structure.

Tilcara, to the north, displays a conspicuous architectonic design. When walking around this town, you will not fail to notice the original buildings with their peculiar distribution of rooms and patios, as well as the church, which is in a perfect state of conservation.

Regional culinary specialties:
Guaschalocro (simple maize stew), charquicán (jerked meat stew), humita (fresh ground corn), empanadas (filled pasties).
Regional ingredients and foodstuffs: chalona (jerked mutton), charqui (jerked meat), maíz pelado (skinless maize), trigo pelado (skinless wheat), arrope (syrup).
