San Francisco de Tilcara is a city in the province of Jujuy, Argentina, and the head town of the Tilcara Department. It had 6,249 inhabitants at the 2010 census [INDEC]. Traces of human habitation in the area date back more than 10,000 years, making it one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements of Argentina.

Located in the Quebrada de Humahuaca valley, Tilcara is a picturesque town that sits at the foot of the stunning mountain range. The town is known for its adobe architecture, which blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. As you wander through the streets, you'll come across charming cafes, artisan shops, and traditional markets, where you can sample the local cuisine and purchase handmade crafts.

One of the main attractions in Tilcara is the Pucará de Tilcara, a pre-Columbian fortress that dates back over 900 years. The fortress was built by the indigenous Omaguaca people and served as a strategic military stronghold. Today, it is a popular tourist destination that offers visitors a glimpse into the region's rich history and culture.
