The experience
The mountain of 14 colors: a sawtooth wall of polychrome limestone rising to 4,761 m, viewed from a 4,300-m mirador up a gravel road from Humahuaca in the UNESCO-listed Quebrada.
Most day-trippers settle for Purmamarca's far more famous seven-color hill instead of making the high-altitude detour.

It's only worth the detour Apr–Nov, mid-afternoon. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
