Our
dream came through and we have completed this highlight, which
is now the best cultural product we have ever worked with our
native communities. It represents the different life styles
of the High Plateau and the most important Andean legacies displayed
in a sensitive and authentic manner.
Your
visit includes: the CHULLPAS mortuary towers of several periods,
the Limachi brothers and their new exclusive museum including
all the reed rafts expeditions of our century, reed boat builders
and a full size reproduction of the RA II used by Thor Heyerdhal
in his epic expedition across the Atlantic. The Eco Museum shows
the original home of our natives and a later improvement of
their life style. A handicraft village where local artisans
make the "Chicha" (local drink made out of corn),
ceramics, "Abarcas" (native sandals made of old tires),
the Melon Hats of the Indian women and the wonderful masks used
in their colorful "fiestas". You walk on an Inca trail
to a stone village of local fishermen, the mud igloos &
floating islands of the Urus Chipayas (a culture dating back
to the last glacier period), as well as to the Takanas agricultural
terraces and the famous Sukakollos (a man made micro climate
system to optimize the harvests). You also see a sample of "Uyuni
Salt Lake" and visualize the splendor of this huge sea
of salt. A must for everybody.
