Tiwanaku


About an hour from La Paz is the ancient city of Tiwanaku. The people who built the city were said to be really advanced for their time.

 I'm not exactly sure what all the sites were because we didn't have a guide, but these remains are from the center of the great empire of Tiwanaku from around 1200 BC. They were sun god worshipers and so they built their temple aligned with the sunrise and sunset.
