Caral & Bandurria Day Excursion

We'll depart from Lima at the designated time, making our way to the site where the ancient ruins of the sacred city of Caral are situated.

As we arrive, we’ll be greeted by the remnants of 5,000-year-old pyramids, temples, and astronomical centers, marking the dawn of civilization in the Americas. Set in the Supe Valley, Caral is recognized as the birthplace of the Andean civilization and is esteemed as the third oldest site of human settlement globally, following Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Once we have explored the intricacies of the Caral civilization, you’ll have one hour for a lunch break before we proceed to the Paradise Wetlands.

Our next stop will be the Bandurria archaeological complex, a long-ago fishing community. Here, you will observe pyramids, mounds, and sites reminiscent of those found in Caral, as well as a natural viewpoint to savor the stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Paradise Lagoon.

After concluding our visit to Bandurria, we will make our way back to the meeting point in Lima, wrapping up this enriching 13-hour journey.
