Breathtaking Landscapes and Authentic Villages

"Due to the wide range of microclimates and different vegetation levels, unique green landscapes emerge, which form a strong contrast to other tourist regions of the province Jujuy - like the Quebrada de Humahuaca with its colorful rock formations as well as the extensive and dry Puna.

The rainforest here is considered one of the most beautiful in Argentina. In the Calilegua National Park, adventure lovers will find a variety of trails to explore the unique rainforest landscapes. From Calilegua National Park, you can continue up the valley along Ruta 83 and after a drive with spectacular views of the forest-covered mountains, you will arrive at the first and biggest village in the valley - San Fransisco, the starting point for various trekking tours, including the trek to Termas de Jordan, which impresses with its turquoise lagoon.

The water of these hot springs is highly mineralized and can be very beneficial for rheumatic and skin diseases. Continuing further along the valley you will be surprised by smaller and more original villages, which are characterized by their warm-hearted inhabitants and their original culture. There are few family accommodations where you can easily get in touch with locals.

The last village of the valley, Valle Colorado is hidden among the mountains at an altitude of 2.700 meters and surprises with its peaceful charm. The community of Valle Colorado stands out for keeping the Inca heritage alive. This is evident in the agricultural activities, lifestyle and handicrafts, especially in the cuntern embroidered cloths that are made and worn by the women from a young age. From Valle Colorado you can reach "Qhapaq Ñan", an ancient Inca path that was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. Our recommendation is to reach Qhapaq Ñan in the early morning to admire the sunrise over the mountain range."
