Amazing day at Caral-Supe with our guide José. He was super interesting and professional. He even agreed to change the itinerary a bit to combine the tour with a visit at Bandurria instead of Barranca. It was an absolutely perfect day. Thank you! I recommand this tour 100%

Excellent experience! 100% recommended. The archaeological site is absolutely worth visiting — it is extensive and you can see a large number of structures from the first civilization in the Americas. The trip is long, but it is completely worth it. As a bonus, during the journey you get to see the “other Lima” that we don’t usually see as tourists. Guides: Our guide was Johanna — very professional and friendly. During the drive to the site, she provided valuable information about Caral, which allowed us to fully enjoy the visit upon arrival. She brought visual materials to help explain everything. She has excellent preparation and deep knowledge of the subject. During the on-site tour, we were guided by a local guide, River Ángel, who was also excellent. The explanations from both guides were outstanding. The driver was very courteous, professional, and respectful, and the vehicle was new and spotless. Overall, the service was excellent. Time was used 100% efficiently, including the travel time. No tourist traps at all. The place chosen for lunch was very good and affordable. Thank you!

If you’re in Lima, you have to head north and visit one of the oldest archaeological sites in Peru! This trip was absolutely fantastic, thanks to Joanna and our amazing driver. Touring Caral was fascinating, the seaside lunch was charming and delicious, and the whole day flowed perfectly. This ended up being one of our favorite tours in all of Peru—honestly, we can’t recommend it enough! The van was super comfortable, and the thoughtful touches like water and snacks made the experience even better. Such an unforgettable and fun day! Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat. The site itself is in a desert with zero shade.

Such a historical place and in such good companion. Our guide Johanna was really nice and friendly. She has demonstrated great knowledge and she strived to help us understand a little more about Peru's history and culture, especially about Caral.

We were a group of 7 tourists, with plenty of space and very comfortable vans. Our guide, Johanna, was very patient with everyone, explaining everything in both English and Spanish and answering questions about Caral culture. She, the driver, and the Caral staff were all very friendly and kind. The souvenirs are very affordable, and the pyramids are incredible — we now have the eighth wonder of the world.
