Including the provinces of:

This area, rich in contrasts, allows the visitor to plunge into the historical roots of Latin-American civilization.

Its spinal cord is made up of the Calchaqui Valleys, Altiplano de la Puna and Quebrada de Humahuaca (declared World Heritage), which, as a whole, produce an overwhelming landscape, surprising in its sheer immensity.

The handicrafts in this region are greatly appreciated by local and foreign visitors alike. Ponchos and a variety of knitted clothes are made of wool from llama, alpaca, vicuña, sheep and guanaco. Silverware, basketry and handicrafts are also designed using different types of wood from the region.
