Jujuy
Of the trinity of northwestern cities, Jujuy shines for its livable feel, enticing restaurants and gregarious, good-looking locals. The climate is perpetually springlike; the city is the highest provincial capital in the country. San Salvador de Jujuy (commonly called simply Jujuy) was founded in 1593 as the most northerly Spanish colonial city in present-day Argentina. The city´s name is roughly pronounced hu-hui; if it sounds like an arch exclamation of surprise, you´re doing well.
