Get in
Find a collectivo near Parador mercado a few blocks from bus terminal. Wait for it to fill up. S/1.5 (soles).

See

 * Walk some 200-300 meters uphill from the main square and cross under the power lines. Here you have a nice view of the town, the lake and the surroundings. Look further up: there is a big white cross on the cliff somewhat to the left. That's where the real views are!
