bottom and wondering where else to visit? There’s plenty of choice just outside Argentina’s capital, from small and alluring cobblestoned towns to bigger, more exciting cities and bustling soft-sand beach resorts. Tigre, with its hidden waterways and busy delta, is a popular porteño getaway for a day or two. Take a day-trip to peaceful San Antonio de Areco, which has a history of gaucho culture, or tidy La Plata, with its huge cathedral. Perhaps you’d prefer a weekend at the beach? Pinamar and Villa Gesell make great summer escapes, as does Mar del Plata, the biggest Argentine beach destination of them all. Or head inland to Tandil for a couple of days; it’s a pretty town near scenic hills and a large recreational reservoir. And then there’s Uruguay, just a (relatively) short boat ride away. Colonia del Sacra- mento is truly charming; filled with cobbled streets and atmospheric colonial buildings it makes a great day trip. Or stay overnight in Montevideo; kind of like BA’s little sister, it’s smaller and less frantic, but offers big-city delights such as a beautiful theater, an historic downtown and eclectic architecture. 30 BOLIVIA BRAZIL CHILE PARAGUAY •# Salta É ÷# Parque Nacional É Iguazú PLAN YOUR TRIP É •#Córdoba •# PA C I F I C Mendoza URUGUAY O C E A N #_ #– É BUENOS AIRES – É # IT Bariloche •# Lake I Reserva Faunística NERAR District ÷# Península Valdés # – É AT L A N T I C I ES Parque Nacional •#El Chaltén O C E A N Los Glaciares ÷# •#El Calafate Parque Nacional ÷# É FALKLAND ISLANDS (Islas Malvinas) Torres del Paine É •# Ushuaia 5 WEEKS Unmissable Argentina Argentina is a huge country – the world’s eighth largest – and experiencing all its high- lights thoroughly will require at least a month, plus several airplane flights. If you want to see both the north and south, plan your trip accordingly: Patagonia is best in January and February, but this is when the northern deserts are at their hottest, so doing both regions might be best in spring or fall. Tailor the following destinations to your tastes, spending more or less time where you want to. Take a few days to explore the wonders of Buenos Aires, with its fascinating neigh- borhoods and big-city sights. If it’s the right season, fly south for wildlife viewing at Reserva Faunística Península Valdés; the whales, elephant seals and penguins here are especially popular. From here hop another flight to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world and a prime jumping-off point to Antarctica (add another two weeks and minimum US$5000 for this trip!). Now you’ll head north to El Calafate, where the stunning Glaciar Perito Moreno of Parque Nacional Los Glaciares is one of the world’s most spectacular sights. If you love the outdoors, cross the border to Chile’s Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, an awe-inspiring cluster of mountains boasting some of the earth’s most beautiful land- scapes. Back in Argentina, next stop El Chaltén is another world-class climbing, trek- king and camping destination.

Diferentes trabajos han dado cuenta de sus características durante ese siglo y especialmente en la región de la Puna de Jujuy. Durante la etapa colonial, esta zona fue sede de una de las mayores encomiendas de la gobernación del Tucumán, cuyos encomenderos eran los principales terratenientes puneños. Es por esta razón que Madrazo (1982) enfatizó la existencia de una estrecha vinculación entre la encomienda de servicio personal con el surgimiento del peonaje por deudas y el sistema de arriendos que se desarrolló en el siglo XIX. Sin embargo, poco conocemos acerca de esta relación en áreas cercanas y con trayectorias históricas similares. El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar algunas de las características del acceso a la mano de obra en las propiedades (privadas y comunales) de la quebrada de Humahuaca durante el siglo XVIII como forma de reconstruir la relación entre comunidades indígenas, forasteros y propietarios españoles.

  • Two New Snuff Trays Found in the Humahuaca Region, Argentina
    Annals of Archaeology Volume 2, Issue 2, 2019, PP 28-33 ISSN:2639-3662 Two New Snuff Trays Found in the Humahuaca Region, Argentina Alicia A. Fernández Distel* Art Space Nicasio Fernández Mar, Argentina *Corresponding Author: Alicia A. Fernández Distel, Art Space Nicasio Fernández Mar, Argentina. Email: [email protected]. ABSTRACT In the province of Jujuy, NW of Argentina, 50 ‘snuff trays’ in relation with the ancient consumption of psychoctive compounds —mainly obtained through unsystematic surveys— have been recorded. The most important archeological sites inspected have been: Cusi Cusi, Casabindo, Doncellas, Rinconada, Santa Catalina, Pucara de Tilcara, Juella, and Cienaga Grande. In this article we describe two snuff trays, hitherto unknown, included in the Torres Aparicio’s private collection in Humahuaca. They were apparently obtained from the archaeological site Peñas Blancas, together with a lot of significant elements also made of wood. One of the trays has little men figures carved in its handle. In the other, the handle presents a hollow central figure that can be associated to a bird (may be a condor).
