From Tilcara to Iruya: a village perched on the mountain｜Argentina

Experience the magic of Iruya

Part of Salta, it's one of those villages that seem frozen in time. On this full-day excursion from Tilcara (see other departure points in La Quebrada), you'll travel along high-altitude roads with breathtaking views until you reach this village clinging to the mountain, where culture, spirituality, and landscape come together.

During the journey, we take National Route 9 until the turnoff to Iturbe and Iruya, climbing to more than 4,000 meters above sea level through the imposing Abra del Condor. From there, the descent offers unforgettable postcard views of northern Argentina. Once in Iruya, you will have time to wander its cobbled streets, visit vantage points, try regional dishes, and feel the calm of the place.

A recommended option for lovers of towns with history, photography, and those looking for stunning landscapes.
