Come and enjoy this amazing day trip to Caral, the oldest known civilization in America. It developed around the same time as the ancient Mesopotamian culture, approximately 5000 years ago.
The archaeological site of Caral is one of Peru’s most remarkable ruins. This UNESCO World Heritage site spans about 60 hectares in the arid Supe Valley and was first settled between 2600 BCE and 2000 BCE.
Although initially discovered in 1948, recent excavations at Caral have uncovered an intricate complex of temples, sunken plazas, and some of the world’s largest terraced pyramids. These findings have led archaeologists to consider the possibility that Caral could be the legendary Mother City of ancient civilizations. Now open to the public, the site is celebrated for its well-preserved ruins and fascinating collection of artifacts, including a quipu (a unique knot system) and several musical instruments made from animal bones. Notably, there is no evidence of warfare or weaponry at the site.
