Great time exploring Bolivia!

Published on Feb, 2024

Our guide Juan was amazing! He was a great driver and very knowledgeable at the history of the archeological sites. I highly recommend this tour!

The perfect day of archeological sightseeing

Published on Feb, 2023

I’ve wanted to come to Tiwanaku and Puma Punku for years to tour the archeological sites. I wasn’t sure who to book with because I am deep into the history of the area. Juan Mercado exceeded my expectations in every way. His knowledge of the site was unparalleled and gave me incredible information every step of the way. The day was absolutely perfect. When I come back to Bolivia next year, I will request him personally for all my tour needs.

What an incredible day!

Published on Jan, 2022

What an incredible day! My exceptional guide Juan and I took a journey across the North Bolivian Plateau to visit this important archeological. It was breathtaking not only because of the ancient expansive megalithic complex, but because it sits at 12,631 feet above sea-level. The site of Tiwanaku is located in the valley between two sacred mountains, Pukara and Chuqi Q’awa. At the temple, in ancient times, ceremonies were conducted to honor and pay gratitude to the gods. Walking around the complex, you are greeted by Andean Yakayaka (woodpeckers), guinea pigs, and brilliant Marguerite Daisies. The archeological site is a maze of megalithic blocks, impressive gateways of monumental scale, and sunken courts pieced together with perfect symmetry. Thanks for a memorable experience!

The picture is very deceptive, but...

Published on Jun, 2016

The picture is very deceptive, but in spite of it, the tour was great.The tour guide, Oscar, was excellent and we enjoyed the tour on the whole a lot. People, however, should be aware that they are not going to see much of what they see in the picture because it is no longer there. The museum at the site gives a good sense of what is no longer visible, and the artifacts are interesting. The drive from La Paz is also very interesting.

This was a special trip to Bolivia...

Published on May, 2015

This was a special trip to Bolivia as it was my children (13 and 11 years old ) first visit!
Our guide was fun, interesting, congenial and professional. He is a great story teller and showed us many hidden secrets Tikanaku! Thanks !
