Expedition to the Iruya Valley: The Hanging Village on the Mountain is a fascinating journey designed for those who wish to explore one of the most remote and authentic corners of northwest Argentina, where time seems to have stopped centuries ago.
What to expect
The adventure begins with the departure from Jujuy, embarking on an unforgettable journey through the Quebrada de Humahuaca. The trip itself is a visually stunning experience, ascending mountain roads that reveal geological formations of incredible colors and breathtaking panoramic views. We will cross the Abra del Cóndor, the highest point of the route at 4000 meters above sea level, then begin the descent towards the valley, where Iruya magically appears, like a village hanging from the mountain.
Once in Iruya, you will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of a place frozen in time. You will walk its steep and cobbled streets, discover its iconic church, and have the opportunity to interact with the local community, heirs of ancestral traditions. You will enjoy free time to walk to its natural viewpoints, from where you will get the best photographs of the rivers and the canyon. This cultural and landscape immersion will allow you to connect with the deepest essence of northwest Argentina before returning to Jujuy.
