Things to Do in San Salvador de Jujuy

San Salvador de Jujuy is Argentina's highest capital city by altitude at 1,260 metres above sea level, giving it a cooler climate than the lowlands.

The city's iconic Iglesia Catedral was begun in 1575 and features a blend of colonial and neoclassical architecture that defines its historic centre.

Jujuy province is home to the Serranías del Hornocal, also called the 14 Colors Mountain, one of Argentina's most visually striking geological formations.

The city sits in the Río Grande valley, a historically important route for trade and conquest between Peru and Argentina during colonial times.

Jujuy's Mercado de Frutas (fruit and vegetable market) is one of Argentina's largest regional produce markets, reflecting the province's agricultural richness.

The province produces some of Argentina's most distinctive textiles and weavings, with indigenous Andean patterns still practised by local artisans.
