About this tour

The day begins with a pickup in the city and a transfer to the Quebrada, passing through landscapes that hint at the beauty of the journey ahead. Once in Volcán, you will board the Solar Train to begin the 360° Experience.

This activity is organized into two groups: Group A and Group B. Both groups follow the exact same route, visiting all the stations and with the same total program duration. The only difference between them is the departure time and the order in which the locations are visited.

🚂 Group A Route

Group A of the Solar Train of the Quebrada makes a complete tour through the Quebrada de Humahuaca following an organized itinerary that allows you to enjoy each destination progressively.

The tour begins in Volcán , the train`s departure point, from where the journey into the heart of the Quebrada de Humahuaca begins. The first stop is Purmamarca , one of the region`s most iconic destinations, famous for the Hill of Seven Colors and its artisan market.

Then, the tour continues towards Maimará , known for its mountain formations like the Painter`s Palette, before continuing on to Tilcara , an important cultural and historical center where you can explore archaeological sites and enjoy the local atmosphere.

On the return leg, the train passes through Posta de Hornillos , a key historical site in the region, and then continues towards Tumbaya , a small and picturesque town that preserves the traditional essence of the ravine.

Finally, the circuit concludes in Volcán , completing a comprehensive experience that covers all the destinations along the route.


🚂 Group B Route

Group B of the Quebrada Solar Train offers the same complete experience, but with a different tour order, allowing for a more balanced distribution of visitors at each destination.

The departure is also from Volcán , from where the train heads first towards Tumbaya , a charming Andean town ideal for starting to connect with the local culture.

The journey continues to Purmamarca , where you can enjoy its iconic landscapes and vibrant artisanal offerings. Then, the train travels to Posta de Hornillos , a site of great historical value within the gorge.

Next, you arrive at Maimará , with its impressive natural formations, and later at Tilcara , one of the most important points of the circuit for its cultural, gastronomic and archaeological richness.
