Worth knowing about Quebrada de Humahuaca
ANAC's open category caps flights at 400 ft, about 122 m, above ground level, not above the take-off point. In the Quebrada de Humahuaca, where valley walls rise hundreds of metres, the drone cannot climb to clear a ridge, so the pilot launches from a rise facing the colour bands and flies along them rather than over them.

FAQ — Drone photo & video in Quebrada de Humahuaca
Can we fly a drone over Purmamarca?
Not over the streets. ANAC's open category forbids flying over people who are not taking part or have not consented, and Purmamarca is full of residents and visitors, so a drone session in the Quebrada de Humahuaca launches from open ground outside the village and films the Cerro de los Siete Colores from there.
Do drone flights in the Quebrada de Humahuaca need a permit?
No prior ANAC authorisation for open-category flights: a rotary-wing drone flown only over rural ground counts as open category, within the pilot's sight and below about 122 m above the ground, after a free sworn declaration to the national aircraft register. Archaeological sites and private land in the Quebrada de Humahuaca are cleared with their owners.
