Where to stay in Tilcara or Purmamarca

If your decision is to sleep in Jujuy in Tilcara or Purmamarca, the choice between the two will depend on the following:

• Budget: Purmamarca has become a favourite village for foreigners, which tends to make prices the highest in the province. Tilcara, on the other hand, continues to maintain more affordable prices. Maimara is also an excellent alternative in terms of tranquillity and lower prices.
• Beauty: this is quite subjective, but for us Purmamarca is the most beautiful village in Jujuy, so from this point of view it is worth making a base here. Seeing the Cerro de los 7 Colores at sunrise and sunset is beautiful.
• Proximity to attractions: both are within a few kilometres of each other. Tilcara is closer to Humahuaca and the Serranía del Hornocal, while Purmamarca is closer to the Salinas Grandes.
