Into Bolivia

The Tiahuanaco crossing is a full-day excursion managed by a third party which will take you across the Bolivian border to the famous Sun Gate.

Considered the cradle of all South American civilizations, the Tiahuanaco culture showcases pre-Incan edifices dating as far back as 1580 AD. After visiting the citadel, continue on to the local museum which hosts ancient objects as well as original tools from the pre-Incan cultures that once inhabited the area. During this excursion you'll enjoy lunch in neighbouring Bolivia.

Operated by a company with years of experience providing unforgettable experiences, this excursion provides a visit to the legendary Island of the Sun, origin of the Incan empire, and lunch in nearby Bolivia.

Head south to the border with Bolivia and reach the sanctuary of Copacabana's cathedral and main square before boarding a catamaran. This vessel will transport you to the Island of the Sun, where you'll visit the archaeological complex of Intihuatana, a centre for traditional medicine, and the Totora reed raft makers.

You'll also be able to see Incan farming terraces carved into the mountainside, the centre for traditional clay craft-making and the Intica Hall with a variety of lamas, alpacas, guanacos and/or vicuñas. To end the day, you'll board a boat to enjoy panoramic views of the Pilikokaina Incan palace, before heading back to Copacabana and the comforts of your hotel.
