Jujuy festival calendar 2027

Jujuy celebrates all year round. Summer is peak festival season: the Enero Tilcareño, the Virgin of Candelaria in Humahuaca and the Quebrada Carnival, which runs from 6 to 14 February in 2027. During Holy Week thousands of pilgrims climb with sikuri bands to the Punta Corral sanctuary.

August is Pachamama month and brings two key dates: the Jujuy Exodus (22 and 23 August) and the Toreo de la Vincha in Casabindo (15 August). In September the capital hosts the National Students' Festival, in October the Manca Fiesta gathers the Puna in La Quiaca, and in November families set the table for the souls.

These dates fill up accommodation fast: if you are travelling for Carnival, Holy Week or August, book early using our hotel guide.

Tango y Pacha Festival

Cultural Festival

Quebrada de Humahuaca and the Valleys, Jujuy, Argentina

The Tango y Pacha Festival is a unique celebration where River Plate tango merges with the Andean spirituality of the Pachamama, in the heart of the Quebrada de Humahuaca, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For three days in August, dancers, musicians, and travelers from around the world gather among multicolored mountains and adobe villages for an experience that transcends the artistic: it is also a cultural and spiritual encounter with the land. The 2026 edition features two nocturnal milongas under the Puna stars, one daytime milonga with mountain views, a shared Andean lunch, daily practice sessions for all levels, and a Pachamama ceremony honoring the land and indigenous culture. Live music is provided by El Cuarteto Mulenga, who will perform twice during the festival. An unmissable proposal for those who want to dance tango in one of the world's most extraordinary landscapes.
