This looks like the WILD WEST! 🤠🌵 | Visiting UQUÍA + HUMAHUACA + a VINEYARD in Jujuy, Argentina 🍇

- The road trip across Jujuy, Argentina continues and in today's vlog, we are visiting the red canyon in Uquía, driving through the town of Humahuaca, shopping for spices at a roadside market, and buying wine at a high altitude vineyard!
So first up, we stopped in the town of Uquía completely by chance. This small town is located just off the side of the highway between Tilcara and Humahuaca, so it’s super easy to get to. The church and the market are the main attractions for visitors, however, we'd recommend driving through the town towards the red hills until you reach Quebrada de Las Señoritas. Here you'll be met with fiery red landscapes that look straight out of Mars...or at the very least straight out of the American Southwest. It reminded us of landscapes in places like Nevada, Arizona, Utah or New Mexico.
After hiking in the canyon, we continued driving further north to the town of Humahuaca. At this point in the day, it was around noon and we were cooking under the sun, so we really didn’t spend very long here. If you’re travelling during the warmer months, we’d definitely suggest going earlier in the day or later in the afternoon, so you can enjoy walking around town rather than desperately seeking shade like we were. We climbed up to the lookout in the centre of town, where you get beautiful views of the colourful mountains just across the river.
On the way back, we did stop at a rather unusual roadside attraction called 'The Llama'. It’s impossible to miss, because, well, there’s a giant llama to greet you right on the side of the highway. This is a market that sells spices, wines, jams, ceramics, and all sorts of artisanal products from the region. And if you’re hungry, you can also get food there!
Continuing with the theme of random roadside stops, we also pulled over at a vineyard called Bodega Viñas Del Perchel. This is a family-run high altitude vineyard and winery located just south of the Tropic of Capricorn line. We met Mabel, who showed us around the place and we also bought 3 bottles of wine to take home with us.
All in all, another fun day travelling in Jujuy!

Beautiful video ........Llama was so awesome
Thanks Effie! We just had to pull over to see what that llama was all about. A fun roadside stop for sure!
The Quebrada de Humahuaca, it was always impressive, it is of incredible beauty, greetings
Thank you very much Hugo! Totally agree!
Posti e paesaggi, veramente incredibili !!! Visioni sbalorditive !!!
Grazie Maria! 😊
I live in the Southwest of the US and this for sure looks like my home!
That's so cool to hear, Jake! Sam and I have really enjoyed what we've seen of the American Southwest. Valley of Fire blew our minds!! 🔥🤩
@@samuelandaudrey I haven't made it there yet but it looks amazing and there is really so much to do if your into that kind of scenery around this area haha
Many Italian “western” films used these Argentinian location for their pictures
@@dagiminiutz that is super interesting!

Hi Guys,
Holy red mountains absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for watching, Michael! The landscapes in the north are out of this world!! 💫
Y pensar que me traje de HUMAHUACA un gatito recién nacido ( TERRY ) me encantaría poder mandarte una foto ...vieron que energía que tiene toda esa zona y lo amable que son los lugareños..??? Ni hablar de sus comidas típicas....!!! Buen FINDE ♥️🙋♂️🇦🇷🙋♂️
Oh, wow, que suertudo el pequeño Terry! Me alegra que haya encontrado una familia. 🐱🥰
Beatiful trip guys, amazing sceneries. I've never heard also about that little town of Uquía. I love your father T-Shirt, Audrey. He really is a dog's fan. Godspeed.
Thank you very much Mario! It is his favourite shirt!
Really looks like Wild West but it's so beautiful💕
Thanks for watching, LeAny! 😊
Such a nice video, just loved the sites. Kept waiting for the wine to be cracked open....LOL
Thanks Rose! We brought some of those wine bottles back to Canada in our suitcases. They were good! 🍷🍇
AUDREY, Sam needs a wick-away moisture scarf to not get sunburned. You are both lovely and we love your Dad! He reminds me of my Dad. God bless you guys. Love it there!
Thanks for the tip!
@@samuelandaudrey You are welcome. We worry for you both. Be safe. God bless. Lovely to speak with you. Chiao
Hi Audrey, My wife is a big fan of your dad.
Ah, thanks Gerard!
Great video
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it!
When we're all these videos filmed looks amazing!!
Thanks Ellis! These were filmed in late 2019.
@@samuelandaudrey what are you guys currently up to? Do you do any chats about blogging advice and media creation etc? I'd be interested I need a lil Help with some things? Watched your vids for ages always a pleasure! thanks anyways guys!
Those rocks were awesome
As always love from 🇮🇪💚☘️😘
Thank you, Bee! Greetings from wintry Canada. 😊🇨🇦☃️❄️
QUE.LUGARES MAS HERMOSOS PARA MI QUE NO CONOSCO VER TODO LOS LUGATES QUE MUESTRAN ME LLENA DE ALEGRIA ME ACUERDO CUANDO VI ESE VIDEO ME DIVERTI MUCHO SALUDOS Y SIGAN ASI SON MUY BUENOS URUGUAY
Gracias Gladis! Espero que algún día puedas llegar a conocer Jujuy!!
Hola Samuel, Audrey y Daniel ! Los lugares que visitaron son hermosos !! Son una verdadera experiencia de paisajes bellísimos ! Coincido totalmente en sus comentarios sobre el manejo en Argentina ! Hay que tener mucho cuidado !! Saludo enorme desde Buenos Aires a los mejores youtubers !!
Muchas gracias Adrian!
Thanks for this guys. As you said it's a desert landscape very similar to some areas in the southwestern US. I'm intrigued to visit these lesser known parts of the country thanks to you guys. Does it get really cold there in winter? Can't wait for all this virus business to come to an end so we can all get on with our lives and our travels. Just think... soon we will once again be able to plug ourselves up and go exploring, and millions of tourists will again fan out across the land like so many ticking time bombs! :) Daniel it's your fault! You planted that image in my head!
Thank you very much! So hopeful things can return to normal sometime later this year.
Yes, since it's a high altitude desert area, it does get very cold in the winter just as it gets hot in the summer.
@@zddxddyddw Right, it's in the mountains isn't it. Looks like such a cool place to visit!
Awesome video as usual. You seem real happy. Happy Valentines Day to you two!
Thank you, Richard! Wishing you a happy Valentine's Day too!
Super!!!
Thanks for watching. 😊
Very nice trip in Argentina.
Julia de 3
Thank you as always, Julia! We hope you had a nice weekend. 😊
Hola Audrey, Daniel y Sam. Muy lindos lugares y hermoso vídeo. Saludos desde la ciudad de La Plata, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Gracias Ramiro. Saludos desde Canadá! 👋🇨🇦
I thought of the colors in the north end of Valley of Fire (farthest from the highway) when I saw the shots from Purmamarca yesterday, especially the green and violet hues. I have always wondered why more folks in the US don't know about Valley of Fire, and why it's not a National Monument. It is that stunning.
Thanks Stephen! I couldn't agree with you more. I think it would be such a fun project to try and visit as many National and State parks as possible.
Wow, again another video of the amazing breathtaking landscape of Jujuy region! That giant llama market looked very interesting and so did the wines you bought. In what season did visit Jujuy to be so hot, as you mentioned it was not summer? What month of the year?
Thanks Bruno! We would have visited in mid Nov.
En ese mismo puesto de venta compre las ollas que tengo y que te comentaba ayer. Lastima que no pudieron ver las pinturas de los arcabuceros en la iglesia. Te cuento Audrey que ese pueblito en el mes febrero para las fiestas del carnaval se vive de una manera muy especial las llamadas comparsas (son personas todas disfrazadas y pintarrajeadas) bajan de la montaña al son la musica con instrumentos regionales y fuegos de artificios. Es una fiesta que dura varios dias donde abundan los platos regionales y las bebidas tipicas del lugar. Si volves alguna vez no te lo pierdas. Que vinazo se compraron. FELICITACIONES HERMOSO VIDEO.-
Gracias por el dato, Miguel! Sería lindo poder visitar algún día durante el carnaval!!
@@samuelandaudrey Si Audrey mira yo me imagino que si vos filmas a toda tu familia dentro de las fiestas de carnaval que son descomunales te va a subir por miles las visualizaciones y vas a tener muchisimas mas suscripciones. Te doy un dato: Yo veo que Uds. suelen alquilar departamento o casas para hacer su trabajo y tambien alquilan autos. Para estas fiestas eso es lo ideal ya que podes hacer base en Salta o en Jujuy mismo y llegar a Uquia y quedarte todo el dia filmar sin apuro y no perderte nada. Esa es la mejor manera. Aparte vas a abaratar costos ya que los hoteles y excursiones en epoca de carnaval son carisimos.-
👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Resa!
Ok kaka cantik abang ganteng
Hola Daniel, Audrey y Samuel. muy bueno el video. hemo visitado Jujuy, tiene hermosos paisajes. de que fecha es esta visita de Uds. Saludos.
Muchas gracias!
Good videos👍😁
Thank you! ✌️😃
Wine looks nice all good try new wines guy's I love you're dad's tee shirt it's cute ,😅
Thanks Andrew! The t-shirt is to remind him of Togo when he's travelling. 😊
I remember that drivers would also flash their lights to somehow signal who was going, but it always seemed random.
Come to think of it I remember that as well.
I wonder if they use dry farming methods or (dry land farming methods) at that vineyard like they do on Indian farms where they fortify the soil with nutrition and figure out Permaculture methods for the soil to retain moisture the few times it does rain so they still can grow crops? I'd love to learn how to do that.
I love driving standard. I grew up learning to drive a stick shift that was on the steering column and all my adult life except for the past few months when I got an automatic, I have always had a car with a manual transmission.
Thanks Emily! That is a really good question. Great to hear you use a manual. That is how I learned to drive.
We only have vehicles with standard transmission, I haven't driven an automatic in years. Did you figure out which meal gave you digestive issues?
We never did figure out if it was a meal we ate or just the high altitude that was wreaking havoc with our systems...😅
The Cactus are from North America. In northwest of Argentina what you sería the Cardón as an indigenous specie.
Thanks Santiago!
Cardones are cactus. There are many cactus species, almost all of which are native to the American continent.
Cactus is from All the continente not only US . Cardon and Cactus are used synonymously, although technically the cardon is a type of cactus, in Argentina there are many types including the type that exists in North America because they are native to the entire American continent (north and south)
Happy Valintines Day from Prince Edward Island.........Also....Carlos Menem Died Today...He was President When I moved To Argentina....and 1000 austreles was one dollar
A happy Valentine's Day from wintry Ontario to you too, Peter! I just saw the news about Menem this morning - he was in power during the years we spent living in Córdoba.
Somos Néstor y Claudia
Gracias!
Beautiful landscape and an amazing capture. Would you be coming to Pakistan anytime soon?
Thanks! We don't have any travel plans at the moment given the ongoing pandemic, but perhaps one day we'll make it to Pakistan.
Real nice place to explore! I bet that wine was great. How much was it? lol
The wines were really good! They were about $20 USD a bottle, which is a bit on the pricier end considering how affordable wine is in Argentina, but it was a high-end wine.
@@samuelandaudrey That's not so so bad..thought you were going o say 40 or more...but yes it's expensive for local Argentine wine. It's probably like our expensive ice wines from Niagara wine region.
Je je je I grew up on standard.
It is a perfect anti thief device. Kids don’t know how to drive them.
😉
Hahaha...that's awesome to hear Rick! So true! That is how I learned as well.
Thank you for russian subtitles
You're welcome!
2 things. First is me baffled about how you respond to every comment no matter how old the video is. I saw you respond to a comment made on a vid 4 years ago and responded even after 4 years and that’s crazy. Second I hope you don’t mind me asking but how much have you spent on your travels? Do you have any tips? Your flight miles must be crazy
Thank you very much! We really appreciate the comments. How much we spend really varies by region. For instance, SE Asia and Eastern Europe are a lot cheaper than North America and Western Europe. South America is somewhere in between. We tend to try and find value deals for accommodations, flights, etc. If you are flexible with your dates it really helps. We also stay in apartments more than hotels so we can cook some meals at home reducing overall costs.
Pronuncias re bien Humahuaca, El Perchel; Tilcara vos y el señor mayor.
Su lengua es español pero hacen videos en inglés?
Agradeceria lo pongan en español porque este video no lo vi en español gracias flia!!
Hola Beatriz, aquí está el mismo video en Español: ua-cam.com/video/fqpIv65gb5c/v-deo.html
Curious how much the bottles of Perchel wine were. You said it was higher end/more than you usually spend. Thanks 🍷. PS, have you drunk them yet?
Hi John, the bottles were about $20 USD each. So on the pricier side for Argentina, but really quite cheap if we compare it to what we pay for wine in Canada. Their wines were really great!
@@samuelandaudrey thanks for your reply. Yeah, I looked one of the bottles up in the Vivino app, and it scored pretty high. Always nice to find/stumble upon nice little vineyards like that! Cheers 🍷
Where does your mum and Togo stay while you are traveling?
They stay at home in Canada.
You could be doing two shows in one guys: you are near the areas where Ancient Aliens come from. Follow: Ancient Aliens on the History Channel. You could be recording with infrared film at night to see what it out there?????
Now that is an idea! Thanks!
@@samuelandaudrey Wow thanks! You are living my dream! I have seen a tick tack shape glowing sphere when I was in Argentina way back. BA is straight down to Antartica where they found a 5-mile wide UFO. ua-cam.com/video/Ez72JoCDeKg/v-deo.html
Please speaking castellano. Tanks
We do on our other channel Samuel y Audrey
