Introducing Tilcara
Picturesque Tilcara, 23km further up the valley from the Purmamarca turnoff, is many people’s choice as their Quebrada de Humahuaca base and offers a wide accommodations choice from luxury boutique retreats to chilly hostels. The mixture of local farmers getting on with a centuries-old way of life and arty urban refugees looking for a quieter existence has created an interesting balance on the town’s dusty streets.

Tilcara is connected by a bridge to RN 9. The main street, Belgrano, runs from the access road to the square, Plaza Prado, and on another block to the church.
