Your adventure begins with a pickup from your hotel in Tilcara at 9:45 am, followed by a bus ride to Purmamarca, a charming village set against the backdrop of the renowned Hill of Seven Colours.

After a half-hour drive, we’ll arrive in Purmamarca, where a stop at a viewpoint will allow you to admire the stunning views of the vibrant rock formations of the Hill of Seven Colours. This locale is known as one of the most photographed spots in Argentina, celebrated for its captivating landscape.
