Tiwanaku was een van de belangrijkste Andes-beschavingen. Zijn invloed strekte zich uit tot het huidige Peru en Chili en duurde van ongeveer 550 tot 1000 na Christus. Ontdek de hoofdstad - de monumentale stad Tiwanaku, gelegen in het centrum van het kerngebied van de staat in het zuidelijke Titicacameer, waar wetenschappers veel hebben ontdekt van archeologisch bewijs, en nog steeds het samenvoegen van de betekenissen van de religie en hoe het kan hebben bijgedragen aan de uitbreiding van de staat. Het pre-Columbiaanse archeologische complex is een van de grootste locaties in Zuid-Amerika. Oppervlakte blijft momenteel ongeveer 4 vierkante kilometer beslaan en omvat versierd keramiek, monumentale structuren en megalithische blokken.
Onze geaccrediteerde gids vergezelt je in het museum ter plaatse en legt uit wat je op elk niveau zult zien.
Inbegrepen bij deze tour zonder extra kosten. Bezoek verbijsterende constructies op de mysterieuze archeologische vindplaats Puma Punku die hielp bij het organiseren van de oude Tiwanaku-staat.

This trip was bad. The car had no seat belts. The car had the exhaust returning to inside the passenger cabin. The guide spoke bad English and was not knowledgeable. The trip was also very expensive.

Our guide Juan was amazing! He was a great driver and very knowledgeable at the history of the archeological sites. I highly recommend this tour!
The trip to Tiwanaku was nice. The company gave us a hotel name and address as a meeting point; unfortunately, the hotel no longer existed which made it somewhat confusing to find our tour guide. But we did finally find him. And the miners were protesting that day in La Paz and we had a terrible time getting out of the city. But our driver did a fantastic job, negotiating, narrow, crowded streets, and we finally were able to get on the highway. All in all a great experience. When we returned to La Paz the tour guide accompanied us on the teleferico (given the blocked streets due to the protesters), and all the way to our apartment to make sure we got home safely.
I’ve wanted to come to Tiwanaku and Puma Punku for years to tour the archeological sites. I wasn’t sure who to book with because I am deep into the history of the area. Juan Mercado exceeded my expectations in every way. His knowledge of the site was unparalleled and gave me incredible information every step of the way. The day was absolutely perfect. When I come back to Bolivia next year, I will request him personally for all my tour needs.
What an incredible day! My exceptional guide Juan and I took a journey across the North Bolivian Plateau to visit this important archeological. It was breathtaking not only because of the ancient expansive megalithic complex, but because it sits at 12,631 feet above sea-level. The site of Tiwanaku is located in the valley between two sacred mountains, Pukara and Chuqi Q’awa. At the temple, in ancient times, ceremonies were conducted to honor and pay gratitude to the gods. Walking around the complex, you are greeted by Andean Yakayaka (woodpeckers), guinea pigs, and brilliant Marguerite Daisies. The archeological site is a maze of megalithic blocks, impressive gateways of monumental scale, and sunken courts pieced together with perfect symmetry. Thanks for a memorable experience!
We changed our mind and instead visited Lake Titikaka and surrounding area. Nice spot to walk down the hill and rest on the shores of the Lake. Scenery from the road was spectacular
First of all, you should know that the price is more than double what TripAdvisor advertises, I think because you are forced to buy two places in the minibus. Apart from this inconvenience, communication was excellent and we coordinated an earlier departure to see three of the four possible museums on site. I highly recommend taking this guided tour to learn about the ancient Tiahuanacota culture that had so much influence over the Inca and many other highland cultures. It is an essential stop especially if you plan to continue to know the ancient cultures of Peru. My guide Omar (a thousand apologies if I am wrong) was exceptional and answered my questions with patience, clarity and enthusiasm. He also explained to me about the other highland cultures and also about the general geography and anthropology of Bolivia and those that he has in common with Peru. It was an excellent moment of reflection and learning that will inform much the rest of my trip and my future Spanish classes. My students will surely appreciate learning about this fundamental culture of the region. A highly recommended experience.
As you tour this archaeological area, you realize the greatness of this civilization of the pre-Inca culture that expanded throughout the central Andes. Excellent ceramics, textiles and architecture in many cases are based on astronomical behavior so getting to know each other more deeply is wonderful.
<p>The Tiwanaku site was a fantastic site to visit, with a lot of interesting archaeological detail on pre-inca and inca times. Our tour guide, Oscar, was even quite helpful in answering questions we had throughout the site. He did spend a lot of time on the phone, checking it many times during our tour, and also jumping on a couple of phone calls. We were even somewhat happy with the tour until the very end, when the tour was complete, and our guide took us to a restaurant to eat. After eating, he and the driver disappeared, and the restaurant came to our table with the bill -- we had to pay for his and the driver's lunch because he was MIA -- very shady!!! He then proceeded to fall asleep in the car during most of the ride back to La Paz. Unfortunately as a result I wouldn't recommend this tour, unless you can guarantee you'll have a different tour guide that won't pull the same shade.</p>
<p>The picture is very deceptive, but in spite of it, the tour was great.The tour guide, Oscar, was excellent and we enjoyed the tour on the whole a lot. People, however, should be aware that they are not going to see much of what they see in the picture because it is no longer there. The museum at the site gives a good sense of what is no longer visible, and the artifacts are interesting. The drive from La Paz is also very interesting.</p>
