First we will pass through Posta de Hornillos and Maimará, in the centre of the canyon. We'll see the multicoloured hills that complete the "Paleta del Pintor" (Painter´s Palet). We'll turn north, to go to Tilcara where we will visit the fabled Pucará. Pucará is the reconstruction of the town of the pre-Hispanic Omaguacas, a culture that lived 900 years ago. Before reaching Humahuaca, we'll take a quick look at Huacalera and Uquía. Return to Salta
