    Very well organized, the guide was awesome, explained several things, and we got off twice at different points. At the salt flats, we took several photos and then headed back to Pumamarca. We were able to stay there for a few hours until we arranged our return trip. Highly recommended!

Discover Tilcara: Tours & Activities | Book Your Adventure

Tilcara is a charming town in the heart of Argentina's Quebrada de Humahuaca, known for its stunning desert landscapes and vibrant local culture. Nestled among colorful hills, this Andean village attracts travelers who seek both natural wonders and authentic experiences. With its warm people, lively markets, and unique traditions, it’s a perfect place to explore northern Argentina’s best-kept secrets.

A Glimpse Into the Past

This town has deep roots in pre-Columbian history. The nearby Pucará de Tilcara, a restored archaeological site, stands as a reminder of the indigenous Omaguaca people who once lived here. Walking around its ancient ruins and museums, you can feel the connection between past and present.

When to Go

The region enjoys sunshine most of the year, but the best months to visit are from April to November, when the weather is dry and cool. Summer (December to March) gets a bit warmer, with occasional rain showers, making the landscapes even greener.

What should I pack for my trip?

It’s smart to bring layers, as temperatures can drop after sunset. A hat, sunscreen, and sturdy walking shoes are a must for exploring both the town and its surrounding viewpoints.

How do I get there?

Tilcara is well connected by road. Buses run regularly from the province capital San Salvador de Jujuy, and adventurous travelers can also drive along scenic Route 9.
