About this activity
Your adventure to the lost pyramids of Caral begins early in the morning when your guide picks you up at your hotel or cruise ship port and drives to the Valley of Supe where the complex is located. The route goes along the Peruvian coast seeing small villages, agricultural areas, and cloudy zones. You will have the chance to stop and take some pictures, interact with locals or purchase something for the route.
Upon arrival to the Supe Valley, your guide will give you an overview of the complex, covering the history and main discoveries made by archaeologists. The first thing you will see when arriving at Caral are 6 pyramids around a central square, next to them an amphitheater and a temple, the religious center of Caral. Your walking tour takes about 2 hours.
The visit to Caral is a visit to a very powerful society, well organized and incredibly ancient. It was a pre-ceramic society without weapons indicators, without walls protection, without evidence of conflict. They were a society that knew how to have fun, with musical instruments made from condor’s bones.
After your private tour in Caral, it is time to return to the city of Lima. During the return trip, your guide will stop in one of the most recommended restaurants located across the Pacific Ocean and enjoy a typical dish. Your tour finishes upon arrival to your city hotel, Lima city Airport or the port of Callao. You will be dropped off at any of these two points per previous arrangement.

Caral was interesting but the trip there and back was stressful.
I left the hotel very early! There were only two of us on the tour so we got a lot of face time with the guide. The site is so very important it's a shame more folks don't know about it! We were treated to a great local lunch spot. It was a day I will remember. Just a final shout out to my guide Jesus ... He was great!
