Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Caral Peru, Av. Las Lomas de la Molina 327 Km. 184 Panamericana Norte - Valle de Supe., Lima 01 Peru
The archaeological site of Caral is among Peru’s most impressive ruins and makes a popular day trip from nearby Lima. The UNESCO World Heritage listed site covers an area of around 60 hectares in the arid Supe Valley and was first inhabited between 2600 BCE and 2000 BCE.
Now open to the public, the site has garnered acclaim for its beautifully preserved ruins and intriguing collection of artefacts, which include a quipu (a unique knot system used by ancient Andean civilizations) and a number of musical instruments fashioned from animal bones, but definitely, no trace of warfare or weaponry!
Duration: 12 hours

Caral was magnificent! We were the only people there looking at buildings/pyramids that date back to 3000 BC. The site of an unknown but technologically advance civilization was amazing. We saw Machu Picchu and Pachucamac and this site at Caral is every bit as exciting to see. The long trip from Lima to Caral was worth the trip!
Our guide, Jimmy, was very informative and provided us with great information about the research and work that went into the site. The site itself is still being worked on full time, but there is already a lot to see. I recommend this for any history, archeology, geology and anthropology enthusiasts as well as anyone else curious about ancient civilizations in the Americas.
