This village is one of the settlements in the Quebrada de Humahuaca (Humahuaca’s Ravine), an area that has been declared World Natural Heritage by UNESCO. Its physiognomy remains unchanged since the 19th century. The buildings combine colonial style with regional traits: adobe walls and roofs made with mud cakes. The pride of this village is the Cerro de Los Siete Colores (Mt. of the Seven Colors), called like that because of the palette of ochres, greens, oranges, purples and pinks that ornate its slopes and contrast with the stark landscape covered in cacti and cardones.
