Quebrada de Humahuaca
World Heritage
Argentina
🎧 Listen to Introduction
The Humahuaca Valley was a major Inca route, following the spectacular valley of the Rio Grande for about 150 km from its source in the cold desert plateau of the high Andes to its confluence with the León River in the south. The valley has abundant evidence that it was a major trade route for the last 10,000 years. It bears clear traces of prehistoric hunter-gatherer communities, the Inca Empire (15th-16th centuries) and the struggle for independence in the 19th and 20th centuries.
