Tiahuanaco culture (1.580 BC - 1.000 AD), the magnificent ruins of Bolivia and one of the oldest civilizations in the Americas. The Sun Gate, the Temple of Kalasasaya and the Pyramid of Akapana are the sample of a glorious past.
Tiahuanaco culture was an agrarian based economy with an estimated population of 115.000 inhabitants. The state controlled agriculture produced the surplus wealth to support the urban centre and administrative system. They were outstanding in agriculture, hydraulic, architecture and medicine, as well as in social organization. Due to an economic crisis caused by a long dry season, Tiahuanaco collapsed around 1.000 AD.
