Pucara de Tilcara

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.

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.
