Berge und Aussichtspunkte in Jujuy

Mountains & Viewpoints

Jujuy’s landscape is defined by the high-altitude Andean plateau and the deep canyons of the UNESCO-listed Quebrada de Humahuaca. This collection features the Serranía de Hornocal, a limestone formation reaching 4,350 meters known for its multi-colored strata. It includes the Calilegua National Park, which protects biodiversity in the Yungas cloud forest, and the tri-border volcano of Cerro Zapaleri. Key vantage points offer views over the red sandstone formations of Los Colorados and the pre-Inca ruins of Pucará de Tilcara.
