Wayra Caves

The Pucara, the Devil's Throat, Purmamarca and the Cerro de los Siete Colores are many options for treks and excursions around the village of Tilcara. One not so well known, but equally beautiful is the trek to the caves of Wayra. The caves are located at an altitude of 2900 meters, ie only 440 meters above Tilcara. The distance is not very long, but the terrain is hard and rocky which, combined with fatigue from walking in these altitudes, will make you quite tired. Although it may seem unnecessary, I recommend doing the tour with a guide (in most guesthouses in the village you will find volunteers for this) as there are many interesting things to learn about the Quebrada de Humahuaca.
