Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a quick stop. A large concrete wedge stands in a circle to mark the Tropic of Capricorn, the point that the sun is overhead at noon on the December solstice. It is poorly marked and poorly maintained.

It is a road marker to say you are crossing the Tropic of Capricorn, nothing else. There is nothing to do other then a quick stop of the car, take a pic or two and move on !!

nice signage, easy walk from the side of the road. worth a quick stop for the Instagram shot. You probably need less than 30 minutes tops.

We made a quick stop at this location. It was an interesting statue but certainly not a place you would need to spend lots of time!

It's a fairly uninspiring monument and sign, which is actually easy to miss but for the collection of souvenir vendors out in front of it. Nonetheless it's always good to grab a quick photo when crossing these lines.

We stopped here on our way north to Mt. Hornocal (14 Colores). Its an easy stop off the main highway, then a 20 meter walk to the circle terraced concrete structure marking the 23, 26, 14 degrees of latitude, furthest tilt north of the earth on December 21st.
Of further interest is the surrounding truck farms of corn, carrots, and leaf vegetables grown all through this Rio Grande Valley.

Not much to say. The tropic is indicated by a concrete stone. If you drive fast, you'll miss it. We stopped so we could say that we were there. That's all.

Opposite the very large construction across the road. The latter issited parallel to the Tropic of Capricon. Worth a stop for a photograph.

We only noticed this sign travelling south to Tilcara from Humahuaca and that was all just a sign. If there was some other construction then we missed it. We saw no evidence of a sign on the way north along ruta 9 to Humahuaca.
