The trip from La Paz out to Tiwanaku was a wonderful day, visiting two areas of pre-Inca remains in the ancient city and the museum. The museum entry and lunch were extra, but very good value for money. The guide, Theodore, provided informative commentary on the Tiwanaku civilization, their monumental building achievements, their cosmology and religious beliefs, as well as the sad destruction by Spanish invaders. For us, this site was a nice counterpoint to the later Inca culture that can be seen in Peru and Bolivia.
