Archaeological tourism

Visiting archaeological sites in Catamarca offers a journey back in time to the ancient civilizations that inhabited the region. El Shincal de Quimivil, in Londres, is one of the most important Inca settlements in Argentina, with ceremonial plazas, staircases, and roads that reveal the influence of the Tawantinsuyu in the northwest of the country.

Pueblo Perdido de la Quebrada, near the capital city, displays vestiges of a pre-Hispanic community. Specialized guides invite you to discover, explore, and relive what life was like for the La Aguada culture.

Loma Rica de Shiquimil, in Santa María, is one of the largest pre-Hispanic settlements in the Calchaquí Valleys, preserving a complex of dwellings of great archaeological value.

Meanwhile, La Tunita, in Ancasti, surprises visitors with its impressive rock paintings, where human and animal figures depicted on the rocks tell stories from ancient times.

These sites not only offer a connection to the past, but also immersive experiences that combine history, nature, and living culture in unique Catamarca settings.
