| Northern provinces feature traces of pre-Columbian cultures, mingled
with ruins of natives’ villages, as well as forts and constructions
dating back to the time of the Conquest and Colonization.
Time seems to stand still in the high plateau of the Puna, a land full
of mountain ranges, steep mountain paths, and gorges. Villages have
been built in the small valleys. Multi-coloured and monochromatic hills
covered with huge cactuses on the slopes surround the village.
This region offers landscapes full of contrast for tourists to enjoy,
from the high peaks to the plains, the salt pans, and the subtropical
rain forests, where Latin American culture took root.
