Hello everybody! I am new at etsy in spanish so I thought the best way to introduce myself to you was telling you about a small part of my country, very small by the way. I know most of you, the same as me, are living somewhere else but in "your" country so I thought you will share with me this feeling when you came back to “your” country for a couple of weeks.


Visitar Mi País
Nosotros, me refiero a mi esposo y yo, estamos viviendo en Nueva York desde hace 4 años y el pasado mes de junio fuimos a visitar a nuestra familia y amigos en Argentina. Se sienten tantas cosas diferentes desde el día en que comenzas a planificar el viaje hasta el día en que tomas el vuelo para regresar a Nueva York! Que es increíble! Sólo tenemos 2 semanas y miles de amigos y familiares con los que queremos compartir "asados" y "cafés"! Es definitivamente no es suficiente.

Visiting My Country We , I mean my husband and me, are living in New York for almost 4 years now and this past June we went to visit our family and friends in Argentina. I feel so many different things since the day we start planning our trip until the day we take the flight to come back to New York! That it is unbelievable! We only have 2 weeks and tons of friends and family with whom we want to share "asados" and "cafes"! It is definitely not enough.


Generalmente nos quedamos en Tucumán, nuestra ciudad, pero esta vez decidimos ir de viaje con una parte de mi familia, mi hermana Lulu mi mamá Ana y mi papá Pancho. Fuimos a Purmamarca quizás el más pintoresco y encantador pueblo de la Quebrada de Humahuaca rodeado de montañas multicolores y una de las primeras ciudades en la Argentina.

Generally we stay in Tucuman, the city where we are from but this time we decided to go for a trip with part of my family, my sister Lulu my Mom Ana and my Dad Pancho. We went to Purmamarca perhaps the most picturesque and charming village of Quebrada de Humahuaca surrounded by multicolored mountains and one of the earliest towns in Argentina.

El paisaje a lo largo del recorrido es maravilloso!
Nuestra primera parada fue "Volcán", un pequeño pueblo fundado en 1905, como consecuencia del tendido de las vías del ferrocarril. Actualmente lo que solía ser la estación de tren es un mercado muy tradicional, donde podes encontrar objetos típicos de la zona.

The landscape throughout the route is marvelous! Our first stop was "Volcan"; a small village that was born in 1905, with the route of the railway. Currently what used to be the train station is a very traditional market where you can find wonderful stuffs, but really mean it! I just went crazy in that market! We even saw a "llama" wearing a colorful necklace!



Nuestra próxima parada fue Purmamarca, el paisaje es impresionante! El pueblo está ubicado en la falda de una montaña imponente y majestuosa "El Cerro de los Siete Colores".

Our next stop was Purmamarca, the environment is stunning! The town is located on the lap of an imposing and majestic mountain "El Cerro de los Siete Colores" (Seven Colors Mountain).

El diseño de la ciudad fue concebida en torno a la iglesia principal, que data de 1648 situada en un lado de "la plaza central" donde hay una feria de artesanías donde podes encontrar productos regionales: cerámica, tapices con telares, ponchos, instrumentos musicales y trajes típicos de la Quebrada.

The busiest part of Purmamarca is the main square, where you can find cafes, a couple of restaurants, a small market and plenty of locals relaxing in the shade.


Después de todo el día caminando por el pueblo, era hora de ir a cenar! Mi tío (que estuvo allí un par de meses antes) nos recomendó ir a "Los Morteros", un lugar muy especial que ofrece platos regionales, delicioso!

After all day walking around the village, it was time to go for dinner! My uncle (he was there a couple of months before) recommended us to go to "Los Morteros", a very special place that offers regional dishes, delicious!

Finalmente empezamos nuestro camino hacia el hotel - "Los Colorados" - situado al final del Paseo de los Colorados". El hotel está rodeado de hermosas montañas de colores y tiene maravillosas vistas. El lugar es muy tranquilo e inspirador.

Finally we start our way to the hotel - "Los Colorados"- located at the end of the "Paseo de los Colorados". The Hotel is surrounded by beautiful colorful mountains and has wonderful views. The place is very peaceful and inspiring.

Espero que hayan disfrutado de Purmamarca tanto como yo lo hice y espero que algún día tengan la oportunidad de ir allí y disfrutar de ella.

I hope you have enjoyed Purmamarca as much as I did and I hope someday you will have the chance to go there and enjoy it by yourself.
