Tiwanaku Ganztagesausflug von La Paz

It was a great site to visit, obviously not as impressive as some of the others found elsewhere but a nice location to visit. Lunch was as expected- soup and meat/fish with rice etc. I felt the guide kind of ticked the boxes with his delivery of information and didn’t always understand my English but he did enough of a job to help us understand the site. Worth visiting for the archaeology and landscape.

Good place to go with a guide that has an understanding of the museums and the 2 sites. Interesting to learn about pre-Ican people in that area of the world.

Kind of pathetic that the Tiwanaku ancient site has not much ruins left for viewing. The tour travelled about 4 hours from La Paz with one hour viewing. Hence, the effort vs what we see really disappointing. But nothing the tour can do as reconstruction effort is slow and difficult without proper guidance. I think this historical site was perished due to the past Inca, Spanish and locals not appreciating ancient sites and caused majority of the damage and missing stones and structures as per our tour guide. We can’t compare Tiwanaku with Machu Picchu which was found at later stage and not subject to destruction. Also due to its ancient period vs Inca period.
