IRUYA: THE HIDDEN AND MAGICAL PLACE
If you like beautiful landscapes, mountains, good people and nice weather, you should visit Iruya. It´s a pretty small town located in Salta, and it´s 317 kilometers away from the capital of the province also known as Salta. This village is very famous because it looks like it is hanging on the mountains. It is 46km away from the main road but it is a world away. It has a nice view and you can walk all over the town or go hiking to the mountains. You can see a lot of beautiful animals like mules, vicunas, condors and many other animals. Apart from the nature aspect, the town is very much influenced by its culture. You can eat a lot of indigenous foods, listen to folk music, buy handicrafts and enjoy the carnivals (if you go in the right dates).
And if you want to go to a place like La Quiaca or Humahuaca, Iruya can be a very interesting stop.
