Iruya via Humahuaca
A remote mountain village reached by a remarkable high-altitude road.
The experience
Leave Salta early and travel through Purmamarca and the Humahuaca Gorge. Beyond Iturbe, the road climbs to Abra del Cóndor at around 4,000 metres before descending through spectacular mountains to Iruya. Explore this remarkable village of steep streets, nestled between dramatic valleys. On the return journey, stop in Humahuaca for some free time.
