Next day, will take place an excursion to Tiwanaku archaeological place. Tiwanaku, an ancient city near the south shore of Lake Titicaca, thrived as a most important site before the Inca Empire. Tiwanaku is believed to be the capital of the Pre-Inca Civilization.

Tiwanku was the center of a powerful, self-sustaining empire. The roots of the Tiahuanaco capital can be found in the early village underlying the 1.5-square-mile civic-ceremonial core. The city was settled by 400 B. C. on the Tiahuanaco River, which empties into Lake Titicaca 9.3 miles to the north.

Traditionally it is thought to have been built by the predecessors of the Inca Civilization over 2,000 years ago. It is a mysterious ruined city of extremely ancient origins.

Starting in La Paz the tour heads to the Uyuni Salt Fields the world's largest salt flat. Salar de Uyuni is also the breeding grounds for three species of South American flamingos. The trip continues to Potosí famous for the rich silver mountain, where now mines are still exploited as in the colonial times.

Sucre the official capital of Bolivia, has much to offer to the visitor. Tarabuco (72 Km from Sucre) is best known as the home of the Yampara culture. Each Sunday, a colorful and vibrant open-air market attracts locals and tourists alike.
