Hotels in San Pedro de Jujuy
San Pedro de Jujuy is a sugar-growing town in Jujuy province, northern Argentina, sitting in the lowland valley between the Yungas rainforest and the highland Quebrada de Humahuaca routes. It makes a quiet, low-key base about 35 kilometers from Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport, the gateway most travelers use for the province.
San Pedro de Jujuy sits in the sugar-growing valley of Jujuy province, a lowland stretch between the subtropical Yungas rainforest to the east and the high-altitude Quebrada de Humahuaca routes that pull most visitors further north. Travelers choosing a base here get a quieter, working town instead of a tourist strip, about 35 kilometers from Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport near San Salvador de Jujuy, the provincial capital. The current hotel option is limited to a single family-run property near the town center, so this suits travelers passing through the sugar valley on the way to the Quebrada or the Yungas rather than those planning a multi-night stay with a wide choice of addresses.
