Argentina Trip: Day Journey in Jujuy Province!
#hellohalloween Exploring Northern Jujuy: La Quiaca & Humahuaca — Argentina on a Budget 🇦🇷✨
If you want untouristy adventure vibes, ancient plazas, and epic Andean flavor, La Quiaca and Humahuaca are seriously underrated. From historic squares to quirky cafés, here’s your local-led must-see guide!
Top Spots to Visit:
🏞️ Plaza 11 de Septiembre (Av. Sarmiento s/n, La Quiaca): The central hub — great for people-watching and soaking in border-town energy.
🌳 Plaza Sarmiento (Y4650 La Quiaca): Open all day, year-round. Chill under massive trees or catch a local event.
🚓 Gendarmería Nacional Escuadrón Nº 21 (Av. Sarmiento S/N, La Quiaca): Not a tourist spot, but it’s got cool architecture and some historical story if you ask the locals.
🍽️ Quinoa (Calle Buenos Aires 457, Humahuaca): Modern twist on Andean ingredients. Try the empanadas de quinoa!
☕ Pachamanka Cafe & Resto (Calle Buenos Aires 457, Humahuaca): Homey little spot just 1.5 blocks from the Plaza. Killer coffee and alfajor.
🍽️ Pinocho & Los Patios de Lucia (Humahuaca): For classic regional eats, both restaurants serve up rural northern Argentinian staples.
Transport hack: Local colectivos connect La Quiaca and Humahuaca — super cheap, just be ready for basic comfort and ask about schedules at any shop. Bring cash as some remote restaurants still don’t swipe cards.
Eat & Drink: In Humahuaca, go for local quinoa-based dishes and try a humita or tamal. In La Quiaca, the bakeries near the plazas are perfect for quick tasty pastries.
Essentials: Weather swings big, so pack layers. Don’t expect much WiFi outside of the big cafés. Most spots take cash (pesos), so bring enough for the basics!
