Super indicated tour for those who are by La Paz. We were presented very well didactically about what was the pre-Inca people Tiwanaku.
It was a nice trip. I was late because of traffic but the agency helped me to catch up with the bus. The guide was nice and explained about what we saw. It was very interesting. Remember to bring warm clothes, eventhough it is sunshine because it can get really cold at some places, and take your sorojchi pills to have a good experience.
