Scientists still hold many doubts about the origins and desapearance of the Tiahuanaco culture.What we do know: This civilization arose in the 6th century BC, and local Indian legends described the city as the capital of the bearded white god Wiracocha. Tiahuanaco endured a thousand years more than Rome, and almost 2000 years more than the Inca civilization that built Machu Picchu. Moreover, the inhabitants had developed a system of agriculture that turned barren Altiplano land into the breadbasket of their society. The city of Tiahuanaco, capital of a powerful pre-Hispanic empire that dominated a large area of the southern Andes and beyond, reached its apogee between 500 and 900 AD. Its monumental remains testify to the cultural and political significance of this civilisation, which is distinct from any of the other pre-Hispanic empires of the Americas. The classic, or fourth period (300-700 AD), is perhaps the most dramatic, with its huge stone structures that watch over the site today. Overnight in La Paz.
