Quebrada de Humahuaca on horseback

This ride begins in the City of Salta, nicknamed “Salta, the Beautiful” in Argentina. Before our horseback tour, you can visit the city, which is brimming with colonial architecture, monuments and history museums.

Our horseback ride to the heart of the Quebrada de Humahuaca begins in El Volcán with our Peruvian horses – the best company we could have on this trip, without a doubt. Thanks to their stamina, we will be able to reach places that would otherwise be inaccessible.

We will head to Purmamarca and the spectacular Hill of Seven Colours, a landscape that seems hand-painted by the same local artists.

Do you believe in love at first sight? You will surely feel something similar when you stroll down the cobbled streets lined with adobe houses. In the many pottery studios and at the artisans’ market, you can find excellent examples of traditional gaucho culture, framed against the imposing many-coloured hill.

Our next stop is Tilcara, a village steeped in pre-Hispanic tradition. Let local people surprise you with their fascinating stories about the Pachamama – our Mother Earth.

In between these two towns, we will take the opportunity to set up our comfortable camps in a natural area where we’ll spend two nights. This will allow us to blend into the surroundings and witness the magic that unfolds among the hills from dusk to dawn.

Pay attention to all five senses. You will discover that these moments are what feed your traveller’s soul and you will understand why La Quebrada de Humahuaca was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

We believe this is one of those trips that every true rider should take at least once in their lifetime. Will you let us be your guide on this adventure?
