What it's about

There are two ways to go to Santa Ana. The recommended option leaves Humahuaca at 12:00 noon and reaches Santa Ana at about 18:00. You spend the night in Santa Ana and, the next day, very early (at 6 in the morning), you climb to the viewpoint to see the sunrise and the cloud blanket. Then you go down to the Inca Trail, a route done only with local guides, and head back to Humahuaca.

Option 2 leaves at dawn, at 5:00 AM from Humahuaca. You see the first sunrise from the Abra del Zenta pass and reach Santa Ana at about 13:00, to walk the Inca Trail with local guides.

On both options the road passes the Abra del Zenta and Abra del Viento passes, a stop at 4,550 m above sea level and a viewpoint of the most iconic bends.

You travel in a 4x4 pickup licensed for 4 to 6 people at most. The recommended option costs $100.000 per person, or $400.000 if you prefer a private trip.
