Uquía

Uquía is a tiny town of dusty roads and cacti in the dry mountains of Jujuy, Argentina. It feels something like a smaller, quieter version of nearby Humahuaca, and it has hiking trails and an old church.

Get in
Buses from Humahuaca arrive many times a day and take 10 or 15 minutes. They cost AR$10 as of November 2017. You can also take the bus from other cities like San Salvador de Jujuy, La Quiaca, and Tilcara. Buses stop at two small on either side of the highway, with no amenities whatsoever.

Buy
Souvenir sellers set up stands in front of the church.
