TIWANAKU

Tiwanaku (Sun Gate - Akapana Pyramid + Kalasasaya Temple + Ceramic Museum + Puma Punku)

High in the Bolivian highlands, the population of Tiwanaku sits like a frozen time capsule of Andean history. Cradle of the Inca civilizations.  One of the most fascinating and mind-blowing sites in South America, the UNESCO-listed ruins are believed to be the ancient capital of the Tiwanaku Empire and mother of the Cuzco cultures, which once spanned Bolivia, Peru, Chile, and Argentina.

Early in the morning we get ready to go to your hotel for the pick-up and start the excursion to the Tiwanaku Archaeological Complex, it is a trip of 72 km. With stops for photo taking of the city of El Alto. After almost 2 hours of travel, we arrive at the archaeological site of what was once the mother of the Inca culture in South America, which in 2000 was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
