Cerro Corazón de Jesús
A small hill beside the town center with a statue of Jesus at its summit, overlooking all of Tupiza and the red mountains around it.
Cerro Corazón de Jesús sits just west of Tupiza's central square. It takes about 20 minutes on stairs and paths to reach the top, where a statue of Jesus stands. From here you can overlook the whole town, the Tupiza River valley and the ochre mountains around it, which glow gold and red at sunset. It is free and suits an easy climb on arrival day to help you adjust to the altitude. The Cross Hill on the other side of town also offers a good viewpoint.
