Tips
and info on things do do, places to visit or nice
routes for hiking, biking, horseriding or jeep
driving in the surroundings are available at the
reception of the Hostal. The staff will be most
happy to assist you in exploring Tupiza and it's
beautiful surroundings. Learn more about some of
the sites around Tupiza here.
Tip:
Tupiza is a great place to take some Spanish
language classes!
The
town itself has a very nice, relaxed atmosphere.
There is a regular market, where people
from the surroundings come to buy and sell all
kinds of things. It's nice just to sit on a bench
in the beautiful park and watch the people go
strolling by. It's easy to make friends here and
mingle with the locals. There are several
interesting colonial buildings and churches. You
can climb the hill to the plateau with the big
white cross. This site is called El corazón de
Jesus (the Heart of Jesus). This is a
magnificient viewpoint, from where you can see
the whole town with the typical coloured mountains in the
background.
You
can also mail me if you've got any
questions. It would be a pleasure to be of help.
