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. I picked Hostal Ananay because it is the best location, timewise, for taking the tour. -Caleb)

As an avid traveler that's been to over sixty countries, I'm usually skeptical of tours that pre-package everything into one day, but I decided to take this tour as it worked with my short time schedule.

遇到过最好的导游,会带你融入当地的生活,带你到那些风景优美并且鲜有人知的宝藏地点。一直为客户考虑,绝对不能错过。 - Barton 意料之外得好!除了最经典的tiwanaku和lake titikaka,导游还带我们探索了许多一般游客去不到的地方:荒野里的废弃教堂、雪山下的麦田……他一直在尽己所能地为我们介绍当地的风土人情,只恨自己英语不够好否则能听懂更多!他是真正带你探索这片美丽土地的好导游。感恩相遇! - Hank 导游是一个负责任的,有思想的人。完美的旅行。 - Spencer
