Come and enjoy this amazing day trip to Caral which is the oldest known civilization in America. Developed simultaneously with the ancient culture of Mesopotamia about 5000 years ago. The archeological site of Caral is among Peru's most impressive ruins. 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. Although initially discovered back in 1948, recent excavations of Caral revealed an elaborate complex of temples, sunken plazas and some of the largest terraced pyramids in the world, leading archeologists to ponder the chance Caral being the fabled Mother City of ancient civilizations. 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) and a number of musical instruments fashioned from animal bones, but definitely, no trace of warfare or weaponry.

The tour guide Jose was very knowledgeable, he knew everything about the place. The driver was careful and attentive. The place is so important, this civilization is older than the Egyptians!!! It’s so incredible to see, understand and be part of this. They are still discovering so it’s so special! The only thing is that is far away, so be prepared for a long road trip, but for a good reason!

This is a fascinating archeological site and perhaps one of the best in the world. It provides a relatively new experience that rewrote Peruvian history on civilization. It is an active site so more discoveries will occur. It is one of the few archeological sites where you can visualize how society was organized. There are few visitors now but enjoy now before it truly gets discovered by the crowds. A long day but we’ll worth it for history buffs.

Our tour guide was great - I highly recommend Alejandro! The transportation was miserable - we were crammed three-across in a little Hyundai for 3.5 hours of misery, both directions. Caral was interesting and I would recommend it to anyone who has interest in ancient civilization. If what we experienced was the normal plan for transportation, I could not recommend this tour.
