La Quiaca & Yavi Day Trip
La Quiaca & Yavi Day Trip
Between 8:30 and 9 am, we'll meet you at your hotel in Tilcara and drive north to the village of Yavi. During the drive, which will take 2 hours 45 minutes, we'll look out at views of the towering mountain ranges that define the Quebrada de Humahuaca.
When we get to Yavi, we'll take a guided tour. We'll visit the Chapel of San Francisco, observe the façade of the Casa Marqués del Valle de Tojo, see the water mill and much more. You'll also be told lots of fun facts about the places you see.
Next, we'll climb the Cerro de los Ocho Hermanos hill and reveal the legend behind this mountain's name (Eight Brothers Hill). Once we've reached the top of the hill, we'll gaze at an incredible view of the red Laguna Colorada. Don't forget your camera!
As we explore the mountain, we'll also be able to spot numerous petroglyphs that depict what everyday life was like thousands of years ago. You'll then have 1 hour of free time in Yavi to eat some lunch before we set off for the next destination on our day trip.
Having reconvened after lunch, we'll head to the city of La Quiaca and visit the International Bridge of Villazon. This spot is an important and historic border crossing between Argentina and Bolivia, which we'll discuss during our visit.
We'll then take you back to your hotel in Tilcara and drop you off between 5:30 and 6 pm.
