The Archaeological Centre of Caral is a fascinating visit for understanding Peru’s deep history long before the Incas. Over 5000 years old, the Sacred City of Caral-Supe is recognised by UNESCO as one of the cradles of civilisation in the Americas. From Lima, this approximately 12-hour excursion leads to a monumental site where pyramids, circular plazas and ancient urban planning create a powerful setting, with a typical lunch in the city of Huacho.

The experience touches both history and imagination: how did such an ancient society organise its territory, rituals and collective life? It is an ideal day for travellers curious about archaeology and eager to reach back to the origins of Andean civilisations.
