There’s something magical about Iruya, a remote village just 50km from the main road but a world away. It makes a great destination to relax for a few days, and also allows proper appreciation of the Quebrada de Humahuaca region away from the busy barreling highway.
The journey is worth the trip in itself. Turning off RN 9, 26km north of Humahuaca, the ripio road ascends to a spectacular 4000m pass that marks the Jujuy–Salta provincial boundary. Here, there’s a massive apacheta (a cairn that accumulates stone by stone, left by travelers for luck). The plastic bottles are from liquid offerings to Pachamama.
