What travellers say about Tilcara

Todemmy14 April 2020

5.0

This old castle overlooks the whole canyon. The houses were reconstructed by early archaeologists without regard for authenticity. Forget the mistakes of those early scientists, the Archaeological Museum of Tilcara is very interesting, well presented and worth a visit. You need to take the time to watch the short film in a building near the entrance. It is very useful. Don't miss the piedra campana, a natural stone bell, very strange.
