Bolivia, Tiahuanaco

Hello teacher and classmates:

Thinking about what country I'd like to visit or live. I notice that I don´t have idea of where I'd like visit. But I’ll make an effort. My first decision is that the selected country must be in South America. Because all those countries are near to Chile. Besides, in most of those countries the people speak Spanish, so the communication with them could be easier.

The Gate of the Sun is a megalithic solid stone arch or gateway constructed by the ancient Tiwanaku culture of Bolivia over 1500 years before the present. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gate_of_the_Sun)

Well, let me chose a country… I think that I’d like to visit in Bolivia. What I prefer Bolivia? Well, because Bolivia has a many interesting place to know. But, I have only one in mind when I chose Bolivia. This place is Tiahuanaco (Tiwanaku). It’s an archaeological site. This ruins belonged to an Tiwanaku Culture, one of the most important precursors to the Inca Culture (or Inca Empire).  This culture begins approximately between 2000 and 1500 B.C. and finish close to 900 or 100 A.D. 

The pre-columbian ruins are near to the Titicaca Lake, approximately 15km. of distance. Besides, the ruins are 72km. from the city La paz of Perú. If you ask me why I prefer go to Tiwanaku than Machu Picchu. The answer is very simple, because Machu Picchu is too mainstream. Jajajaja Bye-bye
