Volcano : The Magic Portal to the Humahuaca Gorge Located more than 2,000 meters above sea level, the picturesque village of Volcano is the first obligatory stop when entering the Humahuaca Quebrada. Its name is not due to a geological volcano, but to the "mud volcanoes" (alluviums) that formerly descended from the hills, giving it a unique and fascinating geographical character.
