Recommended Posts

Few years ago we went to Tiwanaku. (That was before we starteg geocaching.) Tiwanaku and lake Titicaca have always been places we wanted to visit for its great history, cosmological references, incredible stonecutting. Here is a link to our short video from the location -

 

Gateway of the Sun is one of the great monumental works. It is made of a single stone block, now broken into two parts. We have done a geocoin that fetaures some elements of the gateway - central motive of Virachocha, the great creator. On the reverse side of the coin thare are four "sunkasapas" - mythic soldiers, two with human faces, other with condor heads.

 

Samples turned out very well, so we wold like to share some photos of the sample coins with you.
