The village offers a glimpse into Andean culture and history along the Quebrada de Humahuaca. Accessibility might be limited due to the rural location and terrain, so consider local transportation options. Visiting solo allows for independent exploration, but guided tours can provide deeper insights into the region's history and culture.

Costs are generally moderate, mainly covering transportation, meals, and any entrance fees or tour costs.
