Tiwanaku is a pre-Incan city in Bolivia. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and has been since year 2000. Tiwanaku is viewed by most archeologists as being one of the key sites leading up to the Incan Empire, and remains a beautiful site for modern visitors. The artistic style of Tiwanaku is also quite unique, with fascinating figurative pieces that feature exaggerated heads. The style is related to the Huari style, also found in the Andean region, and it is possible that it grew out of the earlier Pukara style.
Tiwanaku is situated more than 13,000 feet (4000m) above sea level, in an absolutely gorgeous section of the Andes. It is encircled by mountain ranges, which offer beautiful vistas and wonderful hiking, and is not far from Lake Titicaca but the lake cannot be seen from the site of the city.
The road to Tiwanaku from La Paz takes around 1hr and 30 minutes, and we will do it in a touristic transport with the group. You will get to see the inca ruins and the museums, all explained in English language.
