La Paz: Tiwanaku Ruins & Lake Titicaca Day Trip

Discover the Tiwanaku ruins and cruise Lake Titicaca on a day trip from La Paz. Enjoy a traditional lunch and a reed boat ride on the world's highest navigable lake.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from your La Paz hotel. From there, head to Tiwanaku, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This archaeological site was the center of one of South America's most important civilizations, which flourished between 500 and 900 AD.

Explore the seven main structures of Tiwanaku: the Kalasasaya temple, the semi-subterranean temple, the Akapana pyramid, Kantantika, Kerikala, Putuni, and Puma Punku. Marvel at the impressive carved stone monoliths and the famous Gate of the Sun, an iconic symbol of Bolivia. Visit the on-site museum to discover artifacts and learn about this fascinating pre-Incan culture.

After exploring Tiwanaku, continue to Huatajata, a picturesque village on the shores of Lake Titicaca. This lake is South America's second-largest and the world's highest navigable lake, situated at over 3,800 meters above sea level.

Enjoy a delicious lunch featuring traditional Bolivian dishes before visiting the Reed Boat Museum, where you'll learn about the artisanal construction process of these typical vessels. To finish, experience the unique opportunity to sail on a totora reed boat across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Titicaca, surrounded by spectacular Andean landscapes.
