"Jujuy" Tilcara by luzmaria
Tilcara Travel Guide: 26 reviews and 74 photos
In Purmamarca you ll find the amazingly breathtaking "cerro de los siete colores" (the mountain of seven colours).
The Pucara de Tilcara is 900 years old and stretches for about 8 hectareas on a hill, 80 metres away from the "Grande" (big) river.
The Tilcara indigenous people built the magnificent pucara (it means "fortress" in quechua -aboriginal- language).
Near the Pucara there s the Jardin Botanico de Altura where people can see the typical flaura (cactus mainly ) and fauna (llamas and vicunias) of the region.
This place is out of this world, think that "sudamerica" was like this before the europeans came.
this Cardones are huge cactuses, and their wood is used to build houses.
sorry, there s so much to tell about this location i promise to complete this page later, when i ve more time!!!

heres a folk song about jujuy:
ME GUSTA JUJUY CUANDO LLUEVE - Zamba
Me gusta Jujuy, mi Jujuy cuando llueve y dejar que el recuerdo me lleve y por Yala perderme abrazado al amor mojadito de agua hasta el alma.
Me gusta Jujuy, mi Jujuy cuando aclara y en los charcos mirarme la cara o mirar los gorriones al cielo volar desde el campanario hasta el alba.
Es una fruta madura Jujuy. Es un jazmin encendido, Jujuy. O tal vez un rayito de luna o de sol una campanita de plata.
A Jujuy esta zamba le quiero cantar me gusta Jujuy con toda el alma.
Me gusta Jujuy, mi Jujuy, por las tardes y sentirme color del paisaje y llegar a las vinias y un vino tomar antes que la tarde se apague.
Me gusta Jujuy, mi Jujuy, por las noches con la luna alumbrando el camino y pedirle a un amigo que venga a cantar una serenata conmigo.
- Pros:landscapes, history, ruins, pachamama and other festivities
- Cons:the long distance from Buenos Aires... The sun.
- In a nutshell:out of this world. A must see not only of Argentina but of Southamerica
