Immediately after, we will begin the guided tour of the Supe Valley, where you can observe the natural and agricultural environment that sustained the first civilization in the Americas. We will continue with the start of the tour to the main complex for the guided visit of the Sacred City of Caral. During this exhaustive visit, you will explore the imposing pyramids and circular plazas, walking the paths that narrate the Full Day content: The Beginnings, Zenith, and Decline of Caral.
