El video fue realizado en Tilcara y en las ruinas del pucará que allí se encuentran, restos de un fuerte precolombino omaguaca ubicado en la región andina del noroeste argentino. Comienza con unas breves escenas de 11 segundos, en los que se muestra una sucesión de dibujos realizados con el estilo de las culturas precolombinas andinas del noroeste argentino (que no suelen ser reproducidas en las transmisiones).
Tilcara es una ciudad de la provincia de Jujuy, en Argentina, en el centro de la Quebrada de Humahuaca.
El Pucará de Tilcara es una fortaleza construida por los tilcaras, una parcialidad de los omaguacas, en un punto estratégico sobre la Quebrada de Humahuaca, en la Provincia de Jujuy, República Argentina.
