Tiwanaku

Join this fascinating journey to Tiwanaku, one of Bolivia’s most important and mysterious historical sites near Lake Titicaca.

Dating back to 1500 BC, this ancient city thrived nearly 2,000 years before the rise of the Inca Empire and more than 3,000 years before Machu Picchu was built.

The Tiwanaku civilization was known for its incredible farming techniques, impressive stone architecture, and intricate artwork, shaping Andean culture long before the Incas.

Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Tiwanaku offers a glimpse into a lost world. Walk among massive stone temples, mysterious carvings, and the famous Gateway of the Sun, believed to hold secrets of the past. Explore an underground temple filled with stone faces, thought to represent the ancestors of this powerful civilization.

After a day of uncovering Bolivia’s ancient history, return to La Paz for a cultural evening at Tambo Restaurant. Enjoy a delicious traditional dinner, try on Cholita clothing for fun photos, and play classic Bolivian games—a perfect way to end the day immersed in the country’s rich traditions and flavors.
