08:00 Overland journey to the archaeological site of Tiwanaku (1.580 BC-1.050 AD), the magnificent ruins of Bolivia and one of the oldest civilisations in the Americas. The Sun Gate, the Temple of Kalasasaya and the Pyramid of Akapana are the sample of a glorious past. Tiwanaku culture was an agrarian-based economy with an estimated population of 115.000 inhabitants. The state-controlled agriculture produced the surplus wealth to support the urban centre and administrative system. They were outstanding in agriculture, hydraulic, architecture & medicine, as well as in social organisation. Due to an economic crisis caused by a long dry season, Tiwanaku collapsed around the year 1.050 AD. Box Lunch is included. Continue by land to Huatajata, located at the shores of Lake Titicaca. Upon arrival, Hydrofoil Cruise to Kalauta Island. Visit the ruins of an ancient stone Village and one of the largest necropolises in the area, with its mysterious Chullpa, mortuary towers, some of them with 2 and 3 floors. Enjoy a navigation on Lake Titicaca, swinging among totora-reed canals to reach the Urus- Iruitos Floating Islands, a remnant of an over 5.000 years old culture and a social project created to assure their survival.

The Bolivian Andes offer stunning scenery that can hardly be matched. The sound of silence makes the heart beat faster, and the surreal pentagons of crystalline salt, the pure sky and the cacti certainly make you feel that there is no other place like this in the whole world.
