From La Paz: Tour of Tiwanaku Ruins

From La Paz: Tour of Tiwanaku Ruins - Puma Punku and Tiwanaku’s Colossal Monoliths

Ancient stone gives this day real weight. This seven-hour outing connects Tiwanaku’s Ceramic and Lithic Museums with the main ruins, including the Sun Gate, Kalasasaya Temple, and Puma Punku. I like starting with the artifacts before seeing the monuments, and I also like having a live guide in English or Spanish to explain what you … Read more

From La Paz: Tiwanaku and Lake Titicaca One-Day Tour

From La Paz: Tiwanaku and Lake Titicaca One-Day Tour - Tiwanaku’s Monolith, gates, and Kalasasaya

Two major Bolivian sights, one long day. This private outing pairs Tiwanaku’s stonework with Lake Titicaca’s open water, and I like the private transport and door-to-door hotel pickup. I also like having a live local guide to explain the Monolith, the ceremonial gates, and Incan culture instead of leaving you to guess at the stones. … Read more

La Paz: Tiwanaku Shared Tour with Lunch + Tour Guide

La Paz: Tiwanaku Shared Tour with Lunch + Tour Guide - Meeting at Maria Auxiliadora Church at 8:30

Stonework makes this day trip worthwhile. I like that the $94 price includes transport, entry fees, lunch, and a bilingual guide. I also like the order of the visit: you see the museum objects before walking among Puerta del Sol, Kalasasaya, Akapana, and Pumapunku. My main caution is reliability, since the current score is 3.9 … Read more

La Paz: Tiwanaku Archeological Site Full-Day Tour

La Paz: Tiwanaku Archeological Site Full-Day Tour - Starting at 7:30 AM in central La Paz

Ancient stone makes a fine escape from La Paz. Tiwanaku, Bolivia’s most important archaeological site, gives you temples, carved gates, symbolic stonework, and a clear look at the pre-Incan culture that shaped the Andes. I love having an English- or Spanish-speaking guide explain what you are seeing instead of wandering among the ruins without context. … Read more

Tiwanaku; Pre Incan Ruins Tours from La Paz

Tiwanaku; Pre Incan Ruins Tours from La Paz - The Long Ride From Hotel Sagarnaga

Ancient stone, modern logistics. Tiwanaku makes a memorable day trip because you get to see Kalasasaya, Pumapunku, and the Sun Gate in one organized outing rather than arranging transport to a remote archaeological site yourself. I like the way the tour combines major ruins with the Ceramic Museum and the Lithic Museum, where the famous … Read more
