The pre-inca ruins of Tiwanaku

La Paz Excursions:

From La Paz you can take day trips to the Valley of the Moon or the pre-inca ruins of Tiwanaku. Only a few hours from the capital are the sub-tropical valleys known as the Yungas, sitting between the mountains of the Cordillera and the Amazon Basin. The journey on the newly built road to the Yungas is truely spectacular, passing from snowy peaks down to lush forests of banana and orange trees.

Valley of the Moon including La Paz City Tour:
About 10 miles outside La Paz natural erosion has led to some unusual rock formations that appear to be like the surface of the moon. Seen against the bright blue of the Andean sky you could be in another world.
On the same day enjoy a guided tour of La Paz. Visit the sprawling Indian markets with locals in traditional dress to get a vivid picture of Andean life.

The ruins of Tiwanaku:
The pre-Inca civilisation that built these ruins appears to have emerged approximatlely 3000 years ago but by the time the Incas conquered the region in 1200AD they found the Aymara Indians living amongst ruins at Tiwanaku they could no longer explain. A visit here is strongly recommended.
