The tour to Caral is a must. The guide Claudia showed great knowledge, proactivity and friendliness. The driver Antonio showed safety and responsibility in the chaotic traffic of Lima and surrounding areas. The tour was fantastic, allowing us to have a good view of the first human civilization in the Americas. On the way back, we had lunch at an excellent restaurant in Barranca and visited the Christ statue with a beautiful view of the beaches. I recommend it.

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

I had a great time on this tour: loved the Caral site and beautiful valley, plus a reasonably-priced delicious lunch: thanks to Jose as a great guide. Note it's a long day with lots of driving but there's no way around this if doing as a day trip from Lima and the van was comfortable and well driven. Easy to book and communications from company good.

I’ll preface this review with a huge commendation of Peruna Tours. Can’t recommend this company enough! Quick communication and the tour was well organized from a logistical perspective. This company was the cheapest Caral tour I found in my research so it wins on value for sure. I’m not sure if it’s like this for all tours but we had a small group which allowed the experience to feel more intimate. This doesn’t even acknowledge their predominant strength is - the amazing staff members! Our tour was commandeered by our amazing guide Claudia and driver Antonio. Claudia demonstrated not only the utmost professionalism, but was remarkably personable! Concerning Caral itself: what a treat for those infatuated with antediluvian civilizations! Much of the site is still being excavated so there is still a considerable amount to learn about this incredibly old civilization. Would highly recommend anyone considering this tour to take it!
