Naturunderverk i Quebrada de Humahuaca

Natural Wonders of Jujuy

The Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage site in northwest Argentina, follows the Rio Grande valley through dramatic geological strata. This list highlights the region's diverse minerals, including the Serranía de Hornocal's fourteen-colored slopes and the iconic Cerro de los Siete Colores. Beyond the multi-hued mountains, the area features the deep Garganta del Diablo canyon, high-altitude lagoons, and red sandstone formations like the Quebrada de las Señoritas, reflecting millions of years of tectonic activity and erosion.
