Experience an immersive 2 Days Caral Tour with an overnight stay in the Supe Valley — a deeper journey into the origins of civilization in the Americas. Caral, the 5,000-year-old Sacred City, is the oldest known urban center in the New World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
This extended private experience allows you to explore Caral at a relaxed pace, with time to absorb its monumental pyramids, ceremonial plazas, and desert landscapes. Staying overnight in the Supe Valley adds a unique cultural dimension, connecting you more closely with the environment where early Andean societies first flourished, just 180 km north of Lima.
