What travellers are saying
- Anna V4 contributionsWonderful historical place and very well prepared guides with high ethical values, with a lot of respect to the local history. Most of them are from local communities. We were with Ines, an antropologist and the person responsable for university space. They way she told us how they usually do it for the tourists, was very inspiring. With a space for reflection. If you have a chance to go their with local guides who made a course in the university their, you ll also enjoy it and appreciate indigenous history of Argentina.. or no, nor Argentina, of Collasuyu, the province of Inca Emperium, the culture of Andes.Written 24 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Claudia DBuenos Aires, Distrito Federal, Argentina1,105 contributionsThis lovely short trekking leads you to Garganta del Diablo.
A nice waterfall at the end of a nice path full of colours and tiny stream.
Cactus and blue sky were my guides.
In January in this part of Jujuy you will be able to be in T shirt and put a sweatshirt by night.
Is a really easy and nice trekking to do.
It will take you half and hour/ 45 minutes if you make it fast.Written 24 January 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

This day we covered a lot of ground and felt it was a rushed trip as there was so much to see and do. We stopped briefly at the Painter’s Palette to take photos but would have liked to stay longer and see the varying colours during the day. The mountains were still very spectacular.
I would recommend an overnight stay in Humahuaca to have time to explore.Written 26 April 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Then when we showed up at 15:00 hrs for our tour the guide wasn't around and we had to wait some time but when we finally went to the caves it was truly beautiful. We were the only ones taking the tour at that time so it was a private one and our guide Jorge was really friendly and he took the time to explain us everything in detail in half Spanish half English. The hike towards the caves was very beautiful and you make a few stops along the way to watch the scenery. We reached the first cave after aprox. 1.5 hour and the second one was 5 min away from there. Especially the 2nd cave was a great experience as the view from the other side of the cave is spectacular! During the whole tour we only saw around 10 other tourists so it is very exclusive and a good experience. We for sure recommend this excursion!Written 10 March 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- mark13 contributionsThis is an outstanding space and museum. It is thoughtfully designed to deliver an inspirational experience. The collection will inspire in spiritual ways. Just nothing like in the region.Written 15 December 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Rodrigo Derteano2 contributionsWe tried to get there. Couldn't find it nor anyone giving us accurate information. No signs. Someone pointed us to two sisters that were serving as guides. When we managed to find them, they told us that Mrs Elvira, the supposed contact for going to the ruins, had prohibited them from guiding people there, that she would let her dogs loose on them if they tried to take tourists there. We tried to find Elvira, but the place people pointed us towards to was closed by a gate. We didn't try to open it, because of the dogs... Apparently Elvira has told people the ruins are hers. A sad situation.Written 4 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Ac2279Rio de Janeiro, RJ158 contributionsShame! The place is great! The story telling is great! The attender was very cool and gentle! It’s wine is good level but it s not acceptable that they just serve the entry level wine to taste! This is a very bad habits of all the wineries in humauaca!
Less Enotourism and more wine ! This is my adviceWritten 7 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There is relatively little to see but the place is overall nicely organized and historical explanations are quite interesting. The building itself is very nice.Written 23 October 2015This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- SteveLondon, UK962 contributionsThis cemetery is well worth a visit if you are passing. Graves are in the hillside and decorated with colourful artificial flowers. The hillside can be climbed and great views await at the top.Written 7 October 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Prego51Chicago, IL749 contributionsWe visited this museum as part of a much longer day hiking and exploring. The art was exceptional-of the quality you might see at a much larger museum.
