200 pesos per person to access a viewpoint, the price is correct but charging to access it is original...Nothing more than a viewpoint on the mountain. Even if it means charging, access should be regulated or limited so as not to be overcrowded at the top. It's a bit of a tourist trap...
There is a little explanation about the different colors of the mountain, which is good though.

Purmamarca is for me the best of the Quebrada de Humahuaca.
The little streets of the town framed by the hill of 7 colors is truly a beauty that remains forever in the retina.
It's the third time I've gone and I always find it wonderful.
What would improve are public bathrooms and restaurant bathrooms.
We are talking about a beautiful place declared a World Heritage Site. Let's take care of tourism. We have resources❤️

Without a doubt the most beautiful in the Humahuaca ravine, the charming town, with narrow streets and rustic buildings. Amongst the mountains, the 7 Colors Mountain can be seen very well both on the route and within the town.
I recommend sleeping in the town, we stayed at AZUL ANDINO, beautiful elevated cabins with spectacular views.
Good location of the town to be able to make a post and move to both the salt flats and Tilcara/Humahuaca.

The best time to observe its beauty is during the morning until 1 p.m., due to how it is located during the afternoon the sun focuses its light on the walkers. It originated around seventy-five million years ago. It is made up of marine, lacustrine and river sediments that were deposited in the area for centuries.
I give it 4* because the view is from the small Porito hill ($300 per adult in April 2024), where there is a viewpoint.
I don't imagine who could determine something like that but they placed a pole with a lightning rod in the middle of the view of the hill of the 7 colors.

Purmamarca was one of the most beautiful towns I have ever seen, and with the Cerro in the background, a beauty. You can climb the El Porito staircase to see the Hill of 7 Colors from a little higher. In front of the square, a lot of stalls selling products from the region.

The beautiful Quebrada de Humahuaca region of North West Argentinia is renowned for its mountains, rivers and gorges. But the Hill of Seven Colours is an unique formation. Over a period of perhaps 600 million years, movement of tectonic plates and other extraordinary forces have forged this multi-coloured wonder.

An incredibly magical place. The views are outstanding. The people are kind and generous. Tons of restaurants with awesome food and a great market. Walks and hikes can be as difficult or as easy as you like them. It’s a great spot to hang out and do day trips to other spots like Salinas Grande and Humahuaca. We rented a car in Salta and took the winding scenic route. Was worth the extra time for the drive. The road to Salinas Grande is unbelievable with all the switchbacks and scenery. It seems to climb forever definitely a must do.

Well, it’s definitely a must if you are in town. It was cloudy this time and the pictures don’t show the beautiful vibrant colors of the hill. Give it a try, easy access, beautiful and last but not least, free of charge!.
Enjoy!.

Estoy pensando en viajar a jujuy a conocer el cerro d los 7 colorees:que precauciones debo tomar?tengo 62 años.puedo apunarme?agradezco su respuesta ya que viajo sola.gracias
Written June 2, 2019
Hola, es muy difĂcil saber si uno se va a apunar o no porque eso depende de cada uno, lo que si está bueno es prevenir y comer liviano, sano, comer caramelos de coca y tomar mucho liquido, con esto en cierta forma prevenĂa el apuno!! si bien el cerro no es de loas mas altos, hay que tomar estos recaudos porque si te apunás te resta mucho para disfrutar del viaje, ante cualquier duda, hay salitas de aistencia que te atienden y asesoran en este tipo de casos. surte y buen viaje, es inolvidable!!!!!
Written June 3, 2019
Hola, depende de cada persona, te recomiendo comprate unos caramelitos de coca y toma mucho lĂquido antes y durante el recorrido, esto va a ayudar para que no te apunes, por lo menos a mi me sirviĂł!!

Nadie se apuno en estos circuitos? Ya sea en purmamarca,salinas ,humahuaca.tengo problemas con la altura y necesito saber para ir preparada,se que hay varias opciones para el mal de altura,como te de coca,caramelos o hacer el bollo de hojas de coca...a ver si alguien necesito algo de esto o se sintio mal? Quiero experiencias..gracias
Written October 1, 2018
Ninguno de los 4 se apuno. Solo algun dolor de cabeza. Esfuve en machu pichu, tren de las nubes y el hornocal en humahuaca. Consejos: dieta liviana, mucho liquido, no tomar alcohol y moverse despacio. Si tenes algun sintoma lo mejor es la cafeina (cafiaspirina o una buena lata de speed o redbull). El te de coca o los caramelos no son muy efectivos. Mario

Hola, el 15 de enero voy 10 dĂas a jujuy y salta, que actividades recomiendan que si o si tenga que hacer? Mi idea es hacer base en Purmamarca
Written October 1, 2018
Desde Purmamarca un lindo paseo es ir a Salinas, el camino por la cuesta de Lipan es increĂble. Desde Purmamarca podĂ©s ir por el dĂa a Tilcara que es muy lindo y visitar el Pucará (podes ir por tu cuenta, es apenas saliendo de la ciudad), en el camino desde Purmamarca a Tilcara al pasar Maimará a tu derecha vas a ver la paleta del pintor que es preciosa, se ve mejor de tarde.
En Tilcara hay paseos en bici de distintos niveles muy recomendables (Jujuy en bici).
Un lindo paseo en Tilcara es La Garganta del Diablo, se puede hacer todo a pie (son unas 4 hs,) o contratar un remise que te lleve desde el centro hasta donde comienza el paseo propiamente dicho y te esperan 1 o 2 horas para traerte de vuelta (cobran alrededor de $400/500 9 la entrada a la garganta de $30, incluye mapa para hacer el paseo)

Estoy parando en Jujuy. Como puedo ir y volver en transporte a Purmamarca? Gracias
Written August 4, 2018
Hola, una opciĂłn es contratar una combi desde dĂłnde estás y acceder a la explicaciĂłn de la guĂa de turismo, la opciĂłn más econĂłmica es tomar un colectivo de lĂnea que va por la ruta y te deja en Purmamarca.
Luego el pueblo lo recorres caminando ya que es muy pequeño.
Te conviene llegar temprano ya que desde Purmamarca salen excursiones a las salinas grandes que son imperdibles.

Hola se puede ir desde Purmamarca a Salinas grandes en transporte pĂşblico?
Written July 21, 2018
Hola creo que lo mas conveniente es alquilar un remisse que cobra $ 1600 el viaje y lleva hasta 4 personas. Hay combis que salen desde el centro que cobran tambien $ 400 por persona pero hay q esperar que se complete la combi o bien que llegue la hora de salida generalmente hay un horario a la tarde y otro a la mañana. Los precios son a fines de mayo/18
