TOUR DESCRIPTION

Get ready to travel thousands of years before in time to witness one of the oldest civilizations in human history. Begin with the hike through the archeological complex of Tiwanaku, ruins declared as Humanity Heritage by the UNESCO, where hundreds of experts have confirmed this is a legendary settlement for humankind. Get up close to the Akapana Pyramid, the Sun’s Gate and the Ponce Monolith, engraved with fine iconography on its surface, which involves a highly advanced technology for the time these people were around, and a language that is still being deciphered. In the underground minor temple, you can spot a number of faces sculpted in rock, some of theme reflecting traits of races from across the planet. Enjoy lunch time at a local restaurant.
Further, reach Puma Punku, an extraordinary facility where perfectly sculpted rocks of over 23 feet tall and above 100 tons, with precise measurements and aligned one with the others. It is truly mind boggling how this civilization came to figure out a way to move and detail these massive pieces, their use, and technology involved. Come back to reality and the present, as you deserve a rest.
