📍 Destination Overview
Purmamarca, an Andean highland village in Jujuy, Argentina at about 2,300m, is one of the country's most charming. Its icon, the Seven Colours Hill, is striped in seven hues by minerals, most vivid at sunrise. The village keeps adobe houses, cobbled streets and a craft market. Part of the Inca road, it launches trips to the Quebrada de Humahuaca and Tilcara.
