La Paz is the World’s highest capital and a fascinating blend of Colonial and indigenous customs, peoples and architecture in an exquisite Andean setting. Easily accessible across the border from Peru, this is a brief, but exciting vignette of the fascinating, complex country of Bolivia.

Day 1: La Paz: Arrival

However you arrive in La Paz, it is sure to be spectacular! Either we pick you up from the airport, with views of the city set against a mountain backdrop, or we drive along the shores of Lake Titicaca from Puno in Peru, across the border into Bolivia, admiring both sides of this immense lake along the way.

Upon arrival in La Paz, we check into the hotel and the rest of the day is free to acclimatize and explore

Following the tour of the city, we visit the amazing geological shapes of the Valley of the Moon, which, as the name suggests, is a lunar landscape located on the outskirts of La Paz.

Day 3: La Paz: Tiwanaku

Today, we go to the ruins of Tiwanaku, the capital of a pre-Inca civilization, located some 72 km (45 miles) from La Paz, near the south-eastern shores of Lake Titicaca. In its time, Tiwanaku was the largest capital city in the world, and considered to be the cradle of all American civilizations, but it is only slowly revealing its secrets to archaeologists.

Our guided tour will include the Kalasaya (Sun) Temple, the Akapana Pyramid and the legendary Sun Gate, as well as an interesting on-site museum, housing some of the relics.
