About this activity
Tiwanaku is a ceremonial center constructed about 1,000 years ago. Not much is known about the pre-inca civilization but Tiwanaku is the greatest archeological pre- inca site in all South America and if you want to learn more about this culture, this is definitely the place to go.

See the treasures in the museums in form of gold, ceramic and silver pieces and experience the mystic of the monoliths and volcanic stone- structures in the architectural site.

The duration of this is approximately 8-hour starting at 8:30am with a pick up from your hotel and returning you back at 4pm.

Once we pick you up, we'll drive for 2-hour approx. Our first stop will be a visit tot he Museums, then the Temple of Kalasasaya, the Gateway of the Sun and finally Akapana Pyramids and Monoliths.

Please note that the weather in La Paz is very unpredictable, therefore we recommend you to prepare for a sunny day as well as a cold one. Bring sunscreen and warm clothes.

We came to Bolivia because of THIS tour. It was OK the guide was obviously a knowledgeable person but didn't put the effort we expected. He treated us fine, but like we came here to take pictures and put them on facebook not at all in our case. He would professionally complete what he intended to say at each visited site, and then quickly returned to his cell phone. It is the best combination if you have a guide who is really passionate and knowledgeable at the same time.

The trip was excellent, the tour guide however lost people including myself because she didn't do a head count before leaving each site, other than the trip was great!

Once everyone's been picked up took 90 mins, the drive to Tiwanaku takes about 90 mins, the first half of which is very slow as it's through the city and in places doesn't seem to be on official roads. There's very little to see at the sight - the two museums aren't particularly interesting and the site is sparse and flat the pyramid is more of a mound and the other sites contain minimal interesting content. Lunch is provided in the nearby town and was reasonable. After lunch there was a quick visit to a small site at the other side of town, then we were driven back to the main Cathedral in La Paz and left to make our own ways back to our hotels two blocks for me, several miles for others. The guide spoke in Spanish and then English and ensured that everyone was engaged. Effectively the tour was a leisurely stroll in the sun, but this sight is a poor relation compared to other pyramid sights in South America, Africa or Asia.
