Purmamarca, nestled in the heart of the Quebrada de Humahuaca in northern Argentina, is a picturesque village known for its exceptional natural setting and rich cultural heritage. This charming Andean village is particularly famous for the Hill of Seven Colours, a spectacular geological formation that surrounds the region and attracts visitors from all over the world. The vibrant hues of the mountains - reds, yellows, oranges and greens - form a striking contrast to the brilliant blue sky. The village itself, with its cobbled streets, adobe houses and lively craft market, invites visitors to discover the local culture, including the handicrafts and gastronomy typical of the region.
Purmamarca is an integral part of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its historical and natural wealth. This region, once used as a trade route by the Incas, is full of traditions and history to explore. The surrounding landscapes, combined with the hospitality of the local people, make Purmamarca a must-see destination for lovers of nature, culture and photography.
