La Paz
Private Tiwanaku and Titicaca Day Trip from La Paz
Description
Shrouded in mystery until quite recently, the ancient city of Tiwanaku is still far from being completely excavated and surveyed.
Evidence suggests the area around the site was inhabited as early as 1500 BCE. As the settlement grew to city size it began to influence surrounding areas. As a city-state, it blossomed between 300CE and 1000CE, after which it declined due to changing weather patterns which resulted in less rainfall. Although much of the site was disturbed by looting, which began soon after Tiwanaku’s decline, it is possible to observe the high level of sophistication and skilled stone working, that were characteristic of Tiwanaku during its height.
Join this 8-hour tour and discover Tiwanaku and Titicaca in one day.

(P.S. we pick-up travelers at all hotels, but the TripAdvisor extranet forces me to pick at least one hotel that lists with them.
