Caral & Bandurria Day Trip

At the specified departure time, we will set off from Lima towards the archaeological site housing the sacred ruins of Caral.

Upon arrival, you will be greeted by the impressive remnants of five-millennia-old pyramids, temples, and astronomical centers, marking the first city established in the Americas. Nestled in the Supe Valley, Caral stands as a pivotal location in Andean history and is recognized as one of the three oldest sites in the world with human habitation, alongside Mesopotamia and Egypt.

After immersing yourself in the insights of the Caral civilization, you will have an hour of free time for lunch before continuing to the Paradise Wetlands.

Your next stop will be the archaeological complex of Bandurria, which served as a prehistoric fishing settlement. In addition to discovering pyramids, mounds, and structures reminiscent of Caral, we will visit a scenic viewpoint to appreciate the stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Paradise Lagoon.

Concluding our exploration of Bandurria, we will return to the original meeting point in Lima, wrapping up this enriching 13-hour experience.
