Tiahuanaco Ruins

I'll be in Bolivia for 15 days later this month and I've heard that ruins of Tiahuanaco is a must see one, so what is the best way to get to Tiahuanaco from La Paz and what are the other things to get around in Tiahuanaco...

It's only 44 miles and take couple of hours ride from La Paz to Tiahuanaco and many tour companies arrange day trips out there. We have visited in June and the Aymara New Year celebrations was held during that time. So many special buses arrived from La Paz, and we also went to Tiahuanaco by bus. The main event is sunrise, so the bus reached Tiahuanaco on-time before sun rise. The celebration was fabulous with music, dance and nice drinks.

The Tihauanaco ruin is a wonderful archaeological site with some remains of pre-Inca culture, they are fascinating and well worth a visit. And my tour guide explained all about its history and it was amazing. I took many photos here and they are quiet good. Also we have seen some other places including Akapana pyramid, Kalasasaya Temple, Puerta del Sol, Semi-subterranean Temple and Puma Punku. Hope you have a nice time!

La Paz has many accommodation options, so take advantage of cheap accommodation or luxury hotels according to your choice. The Presidente hotel, Radisson hotel, El Alto, Ritz and hotel Europa are some of the hotels you can choose from or just visit La Paz hotels page to get more idea.

Also there are good lodging options available and many of the hotels and lodges are having easy access to the shops and attractions, so choose one among them and have a nice stay!
