Everything is within a few minutes' walk: the main square, restaurants, hiking trails, and access points for excursions. This means you won't need to use any transportation once you've settled in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">A great option for both backpackers and those looking for a relaxed atmosphere is the <a href=\"https:\/\/tidd.ly\/3Zfd4pa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Giramundo Hostel Purmamarca<\/a>.

While the town can still be visited, walks can become more strenuous and some excursions may be affected. In return, the hills are usually greener and the landscape changes considerably compared to the rest of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pensamientos_finales\"><\/span>Final thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I liked Purmamarca, and it's definitely one of the must-see destinations in the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Despite its popularity, it has beautiful scenery and some enjoyable activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The <strong>Paseo de los Colorados<\/strong> was my favorite part. It's not crowded, you can walk peacefully, and the views of the hills are beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The <strong>excursion to the Salinas Grandes<\/strong>, on the other hand, left me with mixed feelings. While the place is striking, I feel that the visit, as it's currently structured, offers little and ends up being more of a photo opportunity than a truly enriching experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even so, Purmamarca remains an excellent spot within the ravine and a place I recommend visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_sobre_Purmamarca\"><\/span>FAQs about Purmamarca<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFA_que_hora_se_ve_mejor_el_Cerro_de_los_Siete_Colores\"><\/span>What time of day is the Hill of Seven Colors best viewed?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block\">The <strong>best time to see the Hill of Seven Colors is in the morning<\/strong>, when the sun begins to illuminate it from the side and the colors appear more defined. At sunset, the sun is no longer directly overhead and shadows begin to appear on the hillside, so the colors don't stand out and lose contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCuanto_tiempo_se_necesita_para_visitar_Purmamarca\"><\/span>How long does it take to visit Purmamarca?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Half a day is enough to explore the town, climb to the viewpoint, and take the Paseo de los Colorados (Walk of the Colors). If you also want to add the excursion to the Salinas Grandes salt flats or explore at a more leisurely pace, it's best to spend a full day or even the night in Purmamarca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFConviene_dormir_en_Purmamarca_o_solo_visitarlo_de_paso\"><\/span>Is it worth staying overnight in Purmamarca or just visiting it briefly?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both options are valid. As a stopover, you can easily see the main sights, but staying overnight in the town allows you to enjoy it early in the morning or at sunset, when there are fewer people and the atmosphere is more peaceful, although accommodations are more expensive compared to other towns, such as Tilcara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFSe_puede_recorrer_Purmamarca_caminando\"><\/span>Is it possible to explore Purmamarca on foot?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Purmamarca is very small and the entire center is walkable. You only need transportation for more distant excursions, such as the Salinas Grandes salt flats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEl_Paseo_de_los_Colorados_es_dificil\"><\/span>Is the Paseo de los Colorados difficult?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. It's an easy, well-marked trail, suitable for most people. The hike takes about 45 minutes and requires no prior experience, just comfortable shoes and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFEs_necesario_contratar_una_excursion_para_ir_a_las_Salinas_Grandes\"><\/span>Is it necessary to book a tour to go to the Salinas Grandes salt flats?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It's not mandatory. If you have a car, you can go on your own without any problem. Otherwise, tours and shared taxis depart from Purmamarca, which are usually the most practical option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFA_que_altura_esta_Purmamarca\"><\/span>What is the altitude of Purmamarca?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Purmamarca is located at about 2,300 meters above sea level.
