Abra Pampa
This area was originally referred to as the Argentine Siberia because on account of the height, the weather is freezing cold. It is located 216km. away from San Salvador de Jujuy and lies 3,484m above sea level. It is reached down national route No. 9 which becomes a consolidated dirt road from Humahuaca on. This city came into existence with the arrival of the railroad in 1907.
