Abra Pampa is a town and municipality in Jujuy Province in Argentina,[1] and is the capital of the Department of Cochinoca. The city is the economic center and communication of the Puna, it is the second town in importance in the region, after La Quiaca which is 73 km to the north by the Ruta Nacional 9, paved road, which also connects with the provincial capital, 224 km away.

Toponymy

The name Abra Pampa is a mix of the archaic Spanish word common among sailors - 'abra' (short opening), which in the region has the meaning of ravine, and 'pampa' is a Quechua word meaning 'plain', i.e., 'ravine' (and) 'plain', in fact, this city is located on a plateau near several canyons, especially areas that lie to the east and that connect with the Chaco Pampean regions of Argentina.

History

The city was founded on August 31, 1883, in the department of Cochinoca 22 km east of the ancient village of Cochinoca. In 1915 it moved to the old village of Puna in its political functions as departmental capital. During this time, the core business was mining. The new village was called "La Siberia Argentina" because of the extreme cold and rigor of its climate. The name was unpopular, and was renamed the way it had always been known, as Abra Pampa.

Puna began to be settled approximately 13,000 years ago. For the first thousand years of human life in Puna, everything revolved around hunting and gathering: they hunted birds, rheas, vizcachas, llamas and vicuna; gathered root vegetables, eggs and the scarce fruits of the Puna vegetation. The environment forced them into a form of dispersed and unstable settlement. The first groups of farmers began appearing 3000 years ago.

The town seems to have been an ideal form of population settlement and was the only type of concentrated zone until relatively recently. Abra Pampa and La Quiaca are the largest urban agglomerations within Jujuy, Puna. This entire area was and still is the home of the Quechua and Aymara which were dominated by the Incas from 1475.

These populations were under the influence of the Inca Empire and maintained a close relationship with it. The famous Inca Trail passed through Puna, connecting the northern highlands and Cuzco with what is now Chile and Mendoza. The influence of the Incas in the cultural, commercial and religious life was strong. Each group functioned as an independent tribe, with its own leadership and its own language, they all communicated using Quechua, the language of the highlands.

There was a significant population increase during the Inca domination. Some associated this with improved farming techniques, which meant better nutrition, longer life expectancy and lower infant mortality. There were migrations into what is now Puna Argentina from other parts of the highlands, possibly from mitimaes, colonies which the Incas settled along the borders of their empire. Upon the arrival of the Spanish, Puna was active in production and trade.

Location

It is located at the southern entrance of the high plateau known as the Puna Argentina at the foot of Mount Huancar. About 55 km southwest of the provincial route 7 is the small but famous village of Casabindo.

Abra Pampa forms a link between Puna to the west and to the east forests (Yungas) and valleys. It's a very commercial city, being favored by its geographical location. Despite this its unemployment rate is high.

Climate

The climate is very cold, rigorous and continental. The average annual minimum temperature of -2.4 °C (brief period 1981 -1990). The village endures an average of 67 days per year with daily minimum temperature at or below -12 °C, and 112 days with temperatures below 0 °C. The coldest months of the year are June and July, with an average low temperature of -11 °C and -12 °C respectively. The warmest month of the year is December with an average maximum temperature of 21.1 °C.
