The ruins of Tiwanaku make for a good day trip from La Paz for those who want to view a few carved monoliths, archways and arcades, and two great museums where history buffs will love diving into the myths and mysteries of this lost civilization. In the eponymous village nearby, there are a number of hotels, restaurants, a little plaza with beautiful sculptures inspired by Tiwanaku styles, and a 16th-century church, built with stones from the Tiwanaku site.
