The city of Tiwanaku, capital of a powerful pre-Hispanic empire that dominated a large area of the southern Andes and beyond, reached its apogee between 500 and 900 AD. Its monumental remains testify to the cultural and political significance of this civilisation, which is distinct from any of the other pre-Hispanic empires of the Americas.
The public - religious space of this city is shaped by a series of architectural structures that correspond to different periods of cultural accessions: Temple Semi-underground, Kalasasaya's Temple, Akapana's Pyramid, Pumapumku's Pyramid. In addition, the area politician - administrative officer is represented by structures as the Palace of Putuni and Kantatallita. This architectural complex reflects the complex political structure of the period and its strong religious nature. The most imposing monument at Tiwanaku is the Pyramid of Akapana.
One of the most popular places to visit in South America.

Disappointing and loveless - never again.

2.00A day tour to Tiwanaku with the guide Ricky was a pure rush through the museums and the site. Parts of Tiwanaku and Puma Punku were simply skipped. An hour more in total time - and the rush would not have been necessary. I really don't fly halfway around the world for that. Quick, fast and really careless. No consistent translation into English. I would not use this provider again. A real mistake and a disappointment.
