Humahuaca is located north of Tilcara and Purmamarca, in the colourful valley of Quebrada de Humahuaca.
The townhall is located in the center of the village and it possesses a tower which can be seen from the main square with a clock that chimes at 12 pm, after which a small door opens and a figure of Saint Francisco Solano comes out and makes the sign of the cross.
Climate
Humahuaca has a cool arid climate (KöppenBWk), with two seasons: a mild summer with occasional thunderstorms from December to March, and a cool, extremely clear, rainless winter covering the rest of the year. Although afternoons are warm year-round, the extreme altitude means mornings are cool in summer and freezing in the rainless, cloudless winter.
