Visiting Caral you will experience the first cradle of civilisation emerged in about 5000BC, these ancient people with bountiful food on hand in the rich ocean, rose at around the same time as five other major civilisations in the world. They built stone pyramids here, for instance, at exactly the same time that the Egyptians were building their much more famous counterparts. If this new advanced culture was not famous for art or ceramics, it was its architecture that was its strength. The same grand pyramids and temples of worship that are still partly standing around. You will discover this fascinating place in a private car that will pick you up from your hotel and with a bilingual guide from Lima, who will translate what the authorized guides in Caral will explan during the tour. Then you will visit Bandurria Bandurria an early coastal fishing settlement featuring the first evidence of a ceremonial stone architecture.

Inclusions: Private transportation, You will have lunch in a tipycal peruvian restaurant in Huacho and could enjoy a good ceviche!

A great day with lots to see and do. The boat ride to start the day where we went to the islands of Paracus and saw the seals and penguins was excellent. Lots of history to enjoy while taking a comfy boat ride. (BRING SUNSCREEN) Following this, we headed to Huacachina. We were overwhelmed by the size of the dunes, and had an awesome time riding down them and riding the wild buggies. Excellent photos and great memories. Highly recommend to all. (AGAIN- SUNSCREEN NEEDED). The guides were great and very prompt.

My friend and I booked this trip without really knowing what to expect. We were blown away! Our guide Carlos guided us through narrow roads, with the most amazing and frightning scenarie, to the top of Marcahuasi. Upthere we hiked 8 miles and saw a lot of stunning sides of the nature. Carlos was funny and spoke beautiful english. The trip would not have been the same with another guide!

The tour was perfectly organized. The pick up was right on time and the vehicle was very comfortable. We visited 3 different markets and the tour guide Jonathan was very well informed. His spoken English is on a very good level so on top of a lovely day with delicious food I also learned a lot :) He was also very flexible so I booked directly after the first tour a visit to the Larco Museum. Thank you Jonathan!

Just had an amazing morning with Lucas who led this tour just for me! We went to the swamp area as well as the seaside, where we must have seen 30 or 40 species of birds in total, pelicans, flamingos, herons, flycatcher and more. Lucas was very friendly and knowledgable. He had bird ID charts and bird call app but no binoculars. The visit was not far out of Lima and it was lovely too to be out of the hustle and bustle of the city.
