A peak of over 3,000m offers magnificent, uninterrupted views of the city and the altiplano beyond. A colonial church, a restaurant and splendidly tacky vending stalls await you at the top. Take the cable car or funicular railway from the station at Carerra 2E 21-48. (It’s worth taking a taxi this far, as the surrounding neighbourhood is not the safest to wander around on foot.)

You can walk up, too. It takes an hour, but is only recommended on Sundays when the volume of locals making the pilgrimage to the shrine at the top is sufficient to deter the thieves and muggers who otherwise might try to relieve individuals of their possessions.
