WHAT TO SEE

Valley of Moon This incredible place is very near to La Paz, a valley with a unique lunar appearance. Erosion has formed an amazing labyrinth of small gorges, sharp pinnacles and surprising stalagmites. The result is an area which is strangely and enormously beautiful, to which many citizens come to get away from the big city stress.

Lake Titikaka is the “Sacred Lake” of the Incas and the highest navigable lake in the world with 3.810 meters above sea level, and the largest in South America with 8.300 square kilometers. The influence of this lake has led to continuous human settlement both on its shores and islands, leaving valuable archaeological remains, such as those that can be seen on the Island of the Sun, The Moon, and Copacabana peninsula.

Tiwanaku Known as the “Birthplace of American Men”, Tiwanaku is the capital of the Tiwanakota culture, one of the most ancient cultures, which was at its best three centuries before Christ. It is 72 KM away from La Paz, not far from Lake Titikaka.
