Highlights
Shrouded in mystery until quite recently, the ancient city of Tiwanaku is still far from being completely excavated and surveyed. Evidence suggests the area around the site was inhabited as early as 1500 BCE. As the settlement grew to city size it began to influence surrounding areas. As a city-state, it blossomed between 300CE and 1000CE, after which it declined due to changing weather patterns which resulted in less rainfall. Although much of the site was disturbed by looting, which began soon after Tiwanaku’s decline, it is possible to observe the high level of sophistication and skilled stone working, that were characteristic of Tiwanaku during its height. Join this 8-hour tour and discover Tiwanaku and Titicaca in one day.

3Mixed feelings about a LONG day
TripAdvisor This tour was about 7 hours of driving and 12+ hours overall. Several of those driving hours were on bumpy unpaved roads. The driver did a good job navigating the hazards. The vehicle is typical in Bolivia, but far below the comfort level of roadtrips elsewhere in the world. The tour guide shared numerous interesting stories about life in Bolivia. When we arrived in Tiwanaku, he delegated us to a local tour guide who is a beginner with speaking English. The museums and site are worthwhile but the guide’s explanations only helped to a minimal degree. Our visit to Lake Titicaca was dampened by light rain. The sights there aren’t particularly interesting. In retrospect, we should have skipped this part of the tour.
5A great tour with an...
A great tour with an informative guide that customized the trip to our liking, I definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Bolivia.
5Great tour!
We had a great time with Caleb and William. Caleb was an exceptional guide during our short time in La Paz. We saw so much and had insightful conversations about life in Bolivia. In addition we felt very safe given William’s capable driving skills. Thank you both!
5very satisfied
It was a great tour and the guide was very inteligent and were full of information. The information were not only related to the tour but were multiple areas such as economy, politics, history etc,.
3Off the beaten path tour
We enjoyed that this tour offered a unique way to see Tiwanaku and Lake Titicaca in the same day with a ~12 hour tour. This tour definitely felt off the beaten tourist path, we didn’t see any other tourists other than a few at Tiwanaku. At Tiwanaku we spent 2.5 hours with a local guide, which was interesting though a little longer than we needed and we needed to tip the local guide separately. We also visited a deserted hacienda which was interesting, a few viewpoints of the countryside, and a few local spots along Lake Titicaca on the Taraco peninsula, one of which offered a short boat ride on the lake with a sweet local driver. Lunch was at a family run restaurant in Tiwanaku. We enjoyed the sights of the tour and the American guide was very informative with Bolivian history and current culture. We only docked some stars from the rating because the guide and driver consumed multiple bags of coca leaves and stopped for smoking breaks, they seemed somewhat under the influence. We didn’t necessarily feel unsafe riding in the car but it was a little unsettling at times.
5Wonderful!
Awesome tour! Caleb and Carlos were amazing. We really enjoyed the tour and the conversation. We learned a lot of history while seeing the sites. Highly recommend.

About La Paz
La Paz is Bolivia's seat of government, a high-altitude city in a canyon below Illimani, linked by cable car and known for its markets.
La Paz fills a steep canyon on the Altiplano, between roughly 3,200 and 4,000 metres above sea level, with the snowy peak of Illimani standing over its southern edge. Sucre is the constitutional capital, but the government sits here. Plaza Murillo holds the cathedral and the presidential palace, and nearby Calle Jaén keeps colonial houses and small museums.
Top-ranked sights in La Paz: San Francisco Church, Plaza Murillo, Witches' Market (Mercado de las Brujas).
