Tiwanaku
Tiwanaku, located on the south-eastern side of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, is one of the most significant Inca forerunners. Between the 7th and 9th centuries, the town expanded to urban proportions, becoming a significant regional power in the southern Andes.
Between 15,000 and 30,000 people lived in the city at its height. Tiwanaku is the greatest megalithic architectural feat in pre-Inca South America, despite the fact that just a small portion has been unearthed. It is now one of Bolivia's most popular tourist destinations.
The Akapana pyramid is one of the most fascinating buildings. Many of the stones, however, were looted, making it far less magnificent than it once was.
