Tiwanaku, also known as Tiahuanaco, is a pre-Columbian archaeological site located near La Paz, Bolivia. Founded around 110 AD, it reached its peak around 800 AD and went into decline around 1000 AD, possibly due to climate change. The site displays decorated ceramics, monumental structures such as Akapana and Pumapunku, and megalithic blocks. Tiwanaku had relationships with Wari culture, featured notable architectural engineering, and played a crucial role in religious rituals and possible astronomical observations. Despite damage over time, detailed study began in the 19th century, offering insights into this ancient Andean civilization.
