Similar in spirit and tradition to the Quechua cultures of Peru and Bolivia, the northwest is one of Argentina’s most dramatic and diverse regions. Mountainside roads carve through fertile valleys of subtropical forest, saltine lakes, vineyards and volcanoes before descending into lunar landscapes scattered with dusty, pre-Hispanic and colonial settlements.

Staying at a working estancia, luxury wine lodge or romantic boutique, explore the bustling fruit and handicraft markets of Jujuy, traverse the vast canyons of Humahuaca and Iruya and ride through the highest altitude vineyards in the world.
