Worth the trip

Published on Mar, 2025

Had a great time, our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Definitely worth the trip! The ride was beautiful and the site itself is a must see if you have the time.

Highly recommended. Jose was outstanding

Published on Feb, 2025

This was a last minute excursion. I’m so glad we chose it. Jose was a very good organizer. I learned a great deal about Caral. I honestly think this was my favorite experience. The 10 person tuktuk was perfect for our group to get from parking to the pyramids. Jose preordered lunch which worked out well. The lunch place was nice and had a huge menu with variety. The highway was closed for a part which added two hours of traffic to the trip. This is not the tours fault . The driver had nerves of steel to get us home safe through it all. The van was comfortable.

The history geeks

Published on Feb, 2025

When I made the reservation I did not know what to expect but my husband and I were very interested in visiting La ciudad sagrada de Caral. Everything went well beyond our expectations. Instead of being part of a group, the only people who signed up for that day were two of us. We had a driver (Antonio) and a guide (Jose) to ourselves. It was magical! We highly recommend visiting this unique archeological site recognized as after Mesopotamian the second oldest civilization and it's only 6 hours from the US.

A pleasant drive up the coast

Published on Feb, 2025

A wonderful drive along the coast. The historical sight was fascinating, and the beaches we stopped at on the way back reminded me of the beach front atmosphere in San Diego where I grew up. Apparently, the folks in Peru love hanging out and having fun in the sun as much as the folks back home!

Extraordinary!

Published on Feb, 2025

If you like ancient history, this is the tour for you. Bring a good hat, sunglasses, and sunblock, because you will be walking in the desert completely exposed to the sun for at least two hours. The Supe River was full when we went, so we had to walk to the city from the parking area. Our guide said there was a different road with a river ford that is drivable when the river is lower. This would get you closer to the site. He can also arrange for a tuk tuk ride across the river when it's lower. The scale of the pyramids and intricacy of the architecture at the site is extraordinary, and the views of the vibrant, green valley below the desert plateau where the city sits are stunning! These structures predate the Egyptian pyramids at Giza, but you can visit them for a fraction of the cost and without the crowds. Our guide, José was very informative and answered all our questions thoroughly. The afternoon trip to the beautiful seaside town of Barranca was a great way to cap off this wonderful tour. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Lima.
