Why choose vacation photography in Quebrada de Humahuaca?

In Tilcara that place is the Pucará, a hilltop of stone enclosures with the whole valley below. It is also a site with a history the photographs should not distort. The base package is 30 minutes and 20 edited photos delivered within 7 days.
Worth knowing about Quebrada de Humahuaca
The truncated pyramid at the top of the Pucará de Tilcara was built in 1935 to honour the first archaeologists, destroying part of a plaza, while local communities consider the site one of their sacred antigales. A vacation session there treats the walls as heritage: travellers are photographed on the paths, never climbing the enclosures.

FAQ — Vacation photography in Quebrada de Humahuaca
Is the pyramid at the Pucará de Tilcara pre-Hispanic?
No. The platform and pyramid at the Pucará de Tilcara, in the Quebrada de Humahuaca, were erected in 1935 as a tribute to the first archaeologists who worked there, according to Argentina's Comisión Nacional de Monumentos. The 600 stone enclosures around it are the pre-Hispanic settlement.
Can we take vacation photos inside the Pucará de Tilcara?
Yes, along the visitor paths, with the entry ticket. The Pucará de Tilcara in the Quebrada de Humahuaca is a Monumento Histórico Nacional and a sacred place for local communities, so a vacation session keeps off the walls and anything beyond ordinary photography is agreed with the site first.
