The place is still under excavation, it will take a lot beore it comes to a better show. However, the date in wichoit was built and inhabited is amazing. It will become more and more of a good experience as the excavations keep going. The fact that they have involved the locals is a plus. It is a cultural and... More

The photo showing the ruins is exactly what you will see - pyramid ruins, hot and dusty. 3-4 hour bus trip (each way) to the ruins. I was not particularly impressed but, again, I have viewed many ruins around the world. If one hasn't seen desert ruins, such as found in the U.S. Southwest, it is worth the visit. Notably,... More

We wanted to visit Caral on our recent trip to Peru and selected Peru Golden Shuttle to take us there from Lima. We were very pleased with the service, which picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel. We had a driver and an English speaking guide (Elizabeth) who was very knowledgeable about the site. Caral is rather... More

Caral is the oldest site known in the Americas and we are sure that it wil be over run with tourist soon, though we had the site almost completely to ourselves. Outstanding place to see and we hired our driver Martin Hinojosa to take us there and in so doing we had an English speaking guide and for a very... More

The site itself is very interesting and in amazing condition given its age. The access from Supe is terrible: it is a very long hot walk from where you park to the site. Then when you finally get there, yoiu can't look at the site until you walk all the way around to the other side to buy your ticket.... More

If you are in Lima and you have a day off, take a tour to Caral km 150 aprox Panamericana Norte.From the motorway tt is a dust road of 45 mnts but when you reach the place, it is worth it. This city is 5000 years old, oldest of south america. Archeologist are still working in the area, there are... More

Caral is located in Barranca, 200 or so km from Lima. Will take an entire day to go there and back. The ruins are simple, but the magic and history of the place leaves you craving more. Caral was inhabited between roughly 2600 BCE and 2000 BCE which puts it with the pyramids in term of antiquity. We suggest a... More

We took a tour, my first outside of Lima to Caral in October of last year. It was amazing seeing the age of these temples however I was disappointed that our guide wasn't better. More

My husband and I visited Caral during the last leg of our Peruvian vacay. We contacted a number of companies, and decided on Peru Golden Shuttle. Going to Caral will take up your whole day if you're leaving from Lima like we did, but our tour guide was amazing and made it all worth it. We had a new, comfy... More
