Humahuaca is a town in the province of Jujuy, Argentina, adjacent to the spectacular Quebrada de Humahuaca on the main road from Argentina into Bolivia. Humahuaca is located up in the mountains at 3,000 meters above sea level, and has a population of a little over 10,000.
The two border towns Villazón in Bolivia and La Quiaca in Argentina are a pair spreading across the two countries. Most visitors just hurry across the border and on to their next destination, but it's worth stopping for at least a few hours or even a night, for an experience of the real culture of the region and a change from the touristy towns in the Quebrada de Humahuaca and near the Salar de Uyuni.

The Quebrada de Humahuaca is a narrow mountain valley located in the province of Jujuy in north-west Argentina. It is about 155 kilometres long, oriented north-south, bordered by the Altiplano in the west and north, by the Sub-Andean hills in the east, and by the warm valleys (Valles Templados) in the south. The name quebrada (literally "broken") translates as a deep valley or ravine. It receives its name from Humahuaca, a small city of 11,000 inhabitants. The Grande River (Río Grande), which is dry in winter, flows copiously through the Quebrada in the summer.
