The beautiful surrounding of Tupiza is full of quebradas, cañones and valles. It's excellent for exploring by foot, but it's also possible to go on horseback, mountainbike or by jeep. Most tour agents have simple maps (not to scale) if you want to set out on your own. You can buy a map to scale at the post office, near the Plaza. Some places of interest are:
El Cañon
El Angosto
Entre Rios
Cerro Elefante
Mirador Christo
Puerta del Diablo
Valle de los Machos
Cerro la Cruz
