 Templete (Tiwanaku) by andal13 Tiwanaku ruins are situated near La Paz (73 km); the original name was "Taypicala" (central stone); "Tiwanaku" (place of guanacos) was the name Incas gave to. Tiwanakota culture lasts from 1500 BC to 1200 AD, and covered Bolivian Tableland, North Argentine and Chile, and South Peru. The Tiwanaku people had important knowledges about architecture, astronomy, engineering, sculpture, pottery; they had mummies and practiced skull deformity as sign of beauty and power. Several reasons contributed to disappearance of Tiwanaku empire: civil war, some years of drought and a flood. Las ruinas deTiwanaku están situadas cerca de La Paz (73 km); el nombre original era "Taypicala" (piedra central); "Tiwanaku" (lugar de guanacos) fue el nombre que le dieron los Incas. La cultura Tiwanakota existió desde el año 1500 AC hasta el 1200 DC, y se extendió por el Altiplano boliviano, el norte de Argentina y Chile y el sur de Perú. Los Tiwanakotas tenían importantes conocimientos de arquitectura, astronomía, ingeniería, escultura, alfarería; practicaban la momificación y la deformación craneal, como signos de belleza y poder. Varias razones contribuyeron a la desaparición del Imperio Tiwanakota: guerra civil, una sequía de varios años y una inundación. Leave a Comment

 Faces carved on stone (Tiwanaku) by andal13 Spaniard conquerors destroyed the Tiwanaku constructions and used the stones to built their own buildings (there is a town near there, Laja, which church was built with these stones). The ruins of Tiwanaku have been rebuilt recently; there is a Museum close to the ruins where anthropological and archaeological pieces can be seen. Los conquistadores españoles destruyeron las construcciones de Tiwanaku y utilizaron las piedras para construir sus propios edificios (hay un pueblo cercano, Laja, cuya iglesia fue construida con estas piedras). Las ruinas de Tiwanaku han sido reconstruidas recientemente; hay un Museo cercano a las ruinas, en donde se exhiben piezas arqueológicas y antropológicas. Leave a Comment

 Magnetic stones at Tiwanaku by Legolam Tiwanaku (or Tiahuanaco) is a couple of hours ride from La Paz, and many tour companies do day trips out there. It was definitely worth it when we went, as the whole place is a jumble of various ancient artifacts and temples. It's even older than the Incans (>1000 years) and is very impressive. Highly recommended.
