Pickup will be at 2 pm from your hotel in Casma, followed by a drive to Las Aldas, a significant archaeological complex.

Upon arrival, a guided tour of Las Aldas will provide insights into the site's history, with origins dated between 1925 and 1410 B.C., during the Late Archaic and Formative periods. You will observe remnants of this ancient civilization.

During the tour, the three functions of this complex as a ceremonial, administrative and scientific center will be explained, including the management of marine resources and the rites conducted at its ancient astronomical observatory, strategically positioned for stargazing.
