Bolivia is an old land with sites such as Tiwanaku dating back possibly as far as 1500 B.C. The area has been controlled by groups such as the Aymarans, the Incas and the Spanish before eventually reaching independence and nation status in 1825. This long and colorful history is told in the various museums, ruins and monuments found throughout the country. The monuments, in particular, serve as larger-than-life reminders of the people and events that have shaped Bolivian history.
