Caral & Lomas de Lachay Excursion

The green and misty landscape of the hills of Lachay and the legendary ruins of Caral are two places you cannot miss on your way through the Peruvian capital. Discover them both with this excursion from Lima!

Caral & Lomas de Lachay Excursion

After picking you up at the indicated time at your chosen location in Lima, we will take the Pan-American Highway north toward the Lomas de Lachay. We will stop around 8 am in Chancay for breakfast on your own.

Upon arrival in Lachay, we will walk along a path across the hills into a forest of taro trees, observing the local vegetation and the puquiales, known as ojos de agua ('water eyes').

After a break for lunch on your own, we will visit the sacred citadel of Caral, one of the oldest archaeological sites in South America, exploring the amphitheater, pyramids, and the ruins of houses and temples while the guide explains the history of the Caral civilization.

We will then return to Lima, dropping you off at your starting point around 8 pm.
