Tiahuanaco Ruins Excursion

Tiwanaku was, during its splendor period, the largest city in the world and it is considered to be "the Cradle of the American Civilizations".

The ruins of this great culture (1580 BC to 1200 BC) represent a high level of development and are characterized by their stone work, such as the Sun Gate, the Monoliths, the temples of Kalasasaya and Kontiki, the Akapana artificial pyramid and their metal and ceramic art work are some examples of the advanced development achieved by this culture.

You also visit the "Sukakollos"; discovered a few years ago, you will wonder with this unique agricultural system created to maximize production.
