City & Place Guide

Ancient ruins, artisan crafts, and Andean landscapes await

Londres and Belén are twin towns in the Tinogasta department of Catamarca Province, nestled in the Andean foothills of northwestern Argentina. Londres, one of the oldest Spanish settlements in the country, sits near the remarkable pre-Inca ruins of El Shincal de Quimivil, making it a quiet but historically rich destination. Belén, the larger of the two, serves as the regional hub and is famed throughout Argentina for its fine ponchos and handwoven textiles.

The area offers a slow-paced, authentic experience far from mass tourism. Visitors can explore colonial churches, browse artisan markets, and hike through dramatic quebrada scenery. The towns share a strong indigenous heritage that is visible in local crafts, cuisine, and festivals celebrated throughout the year.

•El Shincal de Quimivil — major Inca ceremonial and administrative site near Londres
•Museo Cóndor Huasi (Belén) — impressive collection of Diaguita and Inca artifacts
•Artisan Market of Belén — renowned handmade ponchos, rugs, and weavings
•Iglesia Nuestra Señora del Rosario — historic colonial church in the heart of Belén
•Cerro Shincal viewpoint — panoramic Andean foothills scenery surrounding the ruins
•Ruta del Adobe — scenic drive through earthen colonial architecture and vineyards

Getting around: There is no rail service in the area; intercity buses connect Belén to Catamarca city and other provincial towns, with Londres reachable by local bus or remis (hired taxi) from Belén. Within the towns, walking is easy and practical. Remises are the primary option for day trips to El Shincal or outlying sites, and a few local tour operators offer guided excursions by 4WD vehicle.

Best time: Late March through early June and September through November offer mild temperatures and clear skies, ideal for sightseeing and outdoor exploration.

Local food: Try locro (hearty Andean stew), humitas, tamales, and locally produced goat cheese, paired with wines or chicha from nearby small producers.
