💬 Suggestions and Comments
Do not forget that the hill is not the only attraction of the small town, such as its central square with the craft fair and other paths that are not so popular.
Beautiful place to spend the morning and rest before continuing touring the Quebrada de Humahuaca
To take photos of the hill of the 7 colors in Purmamarca, the light illuminates it from the front in the morning.
