Optional items you can participate in after arriving in La Paz: Tiwanaku Archa Ogical Site One day tour

Today you will visit the ruins of Tiwanaku located near Lake Titicaca in western Bolivia. Tiwanaku is an ancient archaeological site named after one of the most important civilizations prior to the Inca Empire. The ruins are made up of impressive architectural structures such as palaces, temples and pyramids, as well as giant monoliths and figurative representations. The site was originally populated as an agricultural village, due to favorable climate with abundant and predictable rain, which made the location ideal for farming and large-scale agriculture. Tiwanaku grew in spiritual and administrative importance and became the heart of the Tiwanaku Empire. Today, Tiwanaku remains an enigma for science, much of the stone creations defy explanation, posing more questions to archaeologists than answers.
