Explore its capital - the monumental city of Tiwanaku, located at the center of the state's core area in the southern Lake Titicaca Basin, where scientists have discovered plenty of archaeological evidence, and are still piecing together the meanings of the religion and how it may have contributed to the state’s expansion.

This trip was bad. The car had no seat belts. The car had the exhaust returning to inside the passenger cabin. The guide spoke bad English and was not knowledgeable. The trip was also very expensive.

The trip to Tiwanaku was nice. The company gave us a hotel name and address as a meeting point; unfortunately, the hotel no longer existed which made it somewhat confusing to find our tour guide. But we did finally find him. And the miners were protesting that day in La Paz and we had a terrible time getting out of the city. But our driver did a fantastic job, negotiating, narrow, crowded streets, and we finally were able to get on the highway. All in all a great experience. When we returned to La Paz the tour guide accompanied us on the teleferico (given the blocked streets due to the protesters), and all the way to our apartment to make sure we got home safely.
