Bolivia Every 21st fo June is celebrated the New Years’ Eve in the Aymara and Incas communities; a date that hundreds and thousands of people come to the temple Kalasasaya to witness the sunlights illuminating the impressive Ponce Monolith at the dawn. Legends in Tiahuanaco are closely linked to Lake Titicaca, although in this area what is surprising is that the sculptures represent gigantic beings with large heads. Inside of the Museum we can see a giant statue that is absolutely forbidden to photograph. Actually, Tiahuanaco is not stone ruins of a city. It is a temple complex where the Viracocha God and the Puerta del Sol is the representation of what was their culture. Every year the 21st of June, hundreds and thousands of people from the Aymara and Inca communities congregate in this temple to celebrate the new year of their culture. That day sunlights penetrate through the door of the temple and illuminate the impressive Kalasasaya Ponce Monolith. That dawn every believer is in Tiwanaku, in s oul and body.
