The Northwest hides ancient secrets. Its cultural roots intertwine among the Omaguacas, Aimara people, and even the Incas. Perhaps, one of the main reasons to visit the northwest is its people. Cheerful and open-minded, they maintain a system of ancestral festivals and rituals, with the most well-known being the "Pachamama." 

While the land may seem devoid of life, the minerals that color it drive family agriculture, and their products end up in local markets and gatherings. 

 It's challenging to conclude this chapter without mentioning the wineries. The valleys witness whimsical vineyards, making the Torrentes grape a symbol dating back to the country's earliest winemaking ventures.
