With its end of the world feel,&nbsp;Argentina attracts and surprises. Its very rich&nbsp;unique culture,&nbsp;its varied breath-taking scenery&nbsp;or even&nbsp;its dynamic and bustling capital city, Buenos Aires,&nbsp;mesmerise travellers. Whether you choose to concentrate on one area, or alternatively travel the breadth and width of the country,&nbsp;a trip to Argentina has what it takes to satisfy all your desires. Its landmass covers a part of the luxurious&nbsp;amazon forest, pampas plains, and also the steppes and glaciers of Patagonia for&nbsp;enthusiasts of extensive&nbsp;hikes and treks. Argentina also shares two of its geographical landmarks between its neighbours, who are witnesses to the incredible diversity that the country has to offer: in the north-east the majestic&nbsp;Iguazu Falls&nbsp;are divided into three parts; one in Brazil, another in Paraguay, and finally the most spectacular falls of the park which are home to the Devil’s Throat, on the Argentinian side. Nearly 4,300km from there, at the southernmost point of the country, Argentina covers a third of the legendary Tierra del Fuego, the rest of which is controlled by Chile.&nbsp;Ushuaïa&nbsp;still remains to this day the Eldorado of escapism in the hearts of adventurers. So, are you ready for your&nbsp;trip to Argentina&nbsp;?

Quebrada de Humahuaca is absolutely beautiful. We travelled through countryside that was completely stunning. Deserts, cactus as far as the eye can see, colourful hills...a stream of breathtaking landscapes. To my mind the weirdest was the very tidily shaped hills coloured like rainbows - absolutely unbelievable. They are also called the Hornocal Mountains. They are a must-see during a <a href="/argentina/">trpi to Argentina</a>. The colours are so bright that you almost wonder whether someone has been out with a paintbrush! I recommend you take good walking shoes. Quebrada de Humahuaca is worth dawdling over, taking your time. It's nature's realm and you will feel very small. Something that must be done if you love wide open spaces, desert landscapes and canyons. It gave me a foretaste of the bizarre scenery that we would find in Bolivia, which is very nearby.

Quebrada de Humahuaca is a deep canyon in the province of Jujuy, in the north west of Argentina. Quebrada's fantastically coloured landscapes are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wonderful.

I really enjoyed crossing Quebrada de Humahuacha because of the beautiful mountain scenery and especially the famous Hill of Seven Colours. From ochre to pink, via red - I counted, there were definitely 7! This region is a sort of big valley several kilometres wide which you can walk over. Tilcara is a village in the middle of the Quebrada de Humahuaca. It seems to me the best place to visit the area from because it is close to the HIll of Seven Colours. Although I wouldn't say the area is an essential part of a trip to Argentina I spent an enjoyable 3 days visiting it in a car I hired in Salta. If you decide to do the same thing then you should also go a little further north as far as the picturesque village of Iruya.
