The tour starts when we pick you up from your hotel onboard a private minivan or SUV. Head north on the Panamerican Highway to the citadel of Caral. During the trip, we will offer you refreshing drinks on board. Since it's a long drive, stops are available during the tour.
There will be a guided tour by the citadel where you will observe the great pyramids and the valley of Supe. The pyramids are believed to be built around the year 5000BCE. You will visit the circular terraces, residential areas, pyramids, amphitheater and main plazas. This private tour has been prepared to help you understand the history of culture of ancient Peru.
After visiting Caral, explore the valley of Supe, an enormous green area where farmers plant and grow different fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, passion fruits, watermelons, potatoes, chili peppers among many others. This place also offers us a chance to take spectacular pictures of beautiful landscapes of the farms, the river and the mountains of this region.
