Today I kicked if off with the local museum of  San Pedro – after which it did not take too long to realize that I had already seen the entire city center. My guidebook suggested a walk to the Pukara de Quitor, the ruins of an old Inca fort, strategically located on a hill, over-looking the oasis and the valley – a good 3km out of town.

Another hiking route started next to the Pukara’s entrance, leading up to the top of two other hills with even better views.
