Description

Start the day with pickup from your accommodation in La Paz (only downtown). Relax in the comfortable vehicle as you drive 70km from the city to reach Tiwanaku. Follow your guide through the sites as they tell you the history and about the archaeological digs that have taken place to uncover the secrets of the civilization that once lived here. Halfway through the tour, take a break to enjoy lunch and think about what you’ve learned. Feel free to ask your guide more questions during this time. Finish with a visit to the second site and discover what has been left behind. Head back to La Paz with your guide and get dropped off at the center of the city. The tour consists of a morning departure by car to reach the town of Tihuanaco, home to the archaeological ruins. Upon arrival, you will visit the museums and the Kalasasaya archaeological site. Afterward, you will have time for lunch and continuing to the Puma Punku site. After, you will return to the car and arrive back in La Paz at approximately 16h30.
