Purmamarca village

We reached Purmamarca at about 4 pm. The arrival at Purmamarca was announced by the greenery and hills in various colors all around.

Little Purmamarca, 3km west of the highway, sits under celebrated Cerro de los Siete Colores (Hill of Seven Colors), a spectacular, jagged formation resembling the marzipan fantasy of a megalomaniac pastry chef. The village is postcard-pretty, with adobe houses and ancient algarrobo trees by the bijou 17th-century church. Purmamarca is a gloriously beautiful spot and an excellent place to shop for woven goods; a flourishing market sets up on the plaza every day.Weiterlesen
