#2 of 42 in Sightseeing in Province of Jujuy
Ruin Historic Site
Feast your eyes on waves of rainbow rocks undulating down the side of mountains as you wind your way along Quebrada de Humahuaca, a scenic road linking northern Argentina to Bolivia. Ranging from beige to deep reds, rich browns, and even violet, the rocks look amazing at any time of day, as they subtly change color according to the light. Pull over and look out over Hornocal, perhaps the most vivid formation along the road, and take some memorable photos. Choose to start, finish, or center your holiday on a trip to Quebrada de Humahuaca by using our Province of Jujuy tour planner.
