In Purmamarca you ll find the amazingly breathtaking "cerro de los siete colores" (the mountain of seven colours). |
|  | 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. |
|  | Cardones 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. |
