What our travelers think about their stay

Purmamarca is a charming small village in the province of Jujuy, in the north of Argentina. The village has become very touristy because of the magnificent Cerro de los Siete Colores (or HIll of Seven Colours) behind it.

My suggestion

You should stay the night there! Purmamarca is a very pleasant stopping off place but, more than that, has managed to keep a completely authentic feeling about it. It's really nice to walk around it at the end of the day, towards sun set, when it becomes calm again.

At 65km from Jujuy, the village of Purmamarca, in the heart of Quebrada de Humahuaca, is home to a geological gem, the Mountain of Seven Colours. A million times better than expected!

My suggestion

If you want to get a panoramic view of the Mountain of Seven Colours, you should climb up the Cerro el Morado, which is opposite the village.

My suggestion

Purmamarca is a good place to buy handicrafts. The market on its central square is just wonderful. Don't do like I did and spend all your money there! It closes during siesta but reopens later in the afternoon.
