Yavi and Quiaca Trip

After picking you up from your hotel in Purmamarca at 9 am, we will take National Route 9 to the most northern area of Argentina.

We will travel through the landscapes of the Argentinean Puna until we reach the picturesque town of Yavi. Here, we will explore the historic center, which includes the House of the Marquis of Tojo, the water mill, and the church of San Francisco de Asis, featuring a gold laminated altar significant to the region's sacred art.

After the tour of Yavi, we will ascend Cerro de los Ocho Hermanos (Hill of Eight Brothers) for views of the municipality and the nearby Laguna Colorada. Bring your camera for photographs of the landscapes!

We will continue to La Quiaca, a border town between Argentina and Bolivia. We will cross sections of the International Bridge of Villazón on the Argentinean side and discuss the history of this link between the two nations.

You will then have one hour free for lunch in La Quiaca (not included) to enjoy both Argentinean and Bolivian cuisine! After lunch, we will return to your hotel in Purmamarca, arriving at 6 pm.
