Journey to Caral & Vichama — two of the most important archaeological centers of ancient Peru. Caral, the 5,000-year-old Sacred City in the Supe Valley, is recognized as the oldest known civilization in the Americas and one of the earliest urban societies in the world.
This private experience also includes Vichama, a coastal ceremonial site that reveals powerful artistic and ritual traditions of early Andean societies. Together, these destinations offer a deeper understanding of Peru’s ancient cultural origins through pyramids, reliefs, and sacred urban planning just north of Lima.
