This region is ideal for fly-drive holidays, as the area can be explored independently. The route features contrasting scenery from the town of Humahuaca in the north, at nearly 3,000 metres, to Tucuman in the south at around 450 metres above sea level.The road follows through the Humahuaca valley and past the Cerro de Siete Colores, a beautiful hill where seven coloured layers of stone have settled over the centuries.
