San Cristóbal Mineral Springs
These mineral springs are fed into two large, slightly murky swimming pools. The lukewarm water supposedly has curative properties. You can rent a towel, soap and a bathing suit if you’ve forgotten yours (though the selection is limited and unlovely). You can reach the springs via a steep flight of stairs – enjoy the view of the city as you climb.

Chinita Huanca
This very spacious restaurant is more ambient than most, decorated with everything from local butterflies to artistic impressions of Huancavelica. The menu is less surprising, but does ample breakfasts, tasty chicharrones and very good trout.

Restaurant Joy
For excellent grilled trout cast a line here. There’s not a lot of room but it pulls in the local diners for a limited but honest selection of Peruvian dishes. The owner must like the Beatles – there’s a signed poster of the Fab Four on the wall.

Peña Turística
The place to head for local folklórica groups such as Rammi, Llantuy and Taipuy.
