Great archaeological site - Caral is a very impressive archaeological site in a beautiful desert setting surrounded by mountains. Our guide, Johanna, was great - very attentive and considerate. It's a long way from Lima making it a long day, but definitely worth it for anyone interested in history and archaeology.

Full Day Tour Caral Unbelievable Surprised Wow - Full day tour Caral from Lima. What a wonderful unforgettable experience. The tour was very well organised. Johanna was our your English tour guide and together with the guide from Caral their knowledge and explanations of the site were fantastic. Johanna also made sure every one was comfortable during the tour. Caral is the largest archaeological pyramid site I have visited . A must see. Highly recommended.

Wealth of information - Long day from Lima but totally worth it for the history and sights. Our guide, Jose, was a wealth of knowledge and you could tell he was passionate about Caral and the surrounding area’s history.

Absolutely recommend! - Very professional, friendly and knowledgeable guide Joana made this tour a great experience. We felt comfortable and safe, we learnt a lot of interesting facts about the history of pre-Inca civilizations and also we got great tips and hints about Peru. Caral is still a silent area comparing to e.g. Machupicchu, and we really enjoyed the calmness and the magic of the place.

Caral - walk in an ancient civilization's footsteps - I t was an awesome time at Caral! It was remarkable to stand in the place of one of the world's oldest civilizations. We had a wonderful guide, Johanna, who explained everything very well in English. The driver was excellent also. We had a tasty lunch in Barrancia and saw Christ the Redeemer Statue. I would highly recommend this tour.

Must see site when in Lima! - This trip is a must do when in Peru. It’s a bit of a drive (about 3hrs each way) and an early start, but it is well worth it! Johanna was an amazing tour guide and was very warm and welcoming. She has an excellent knowledge and came prepared with maps and photos to help us understand the site better before we arrived. She was excellent at translating our Spanish guide at Caral and I felt that I got an excellent understanding of the site and its importance to the history of Peru. I highly recommend this trip and Johanna as a guide.

Fun and Insightful Journey! - It was kinda impromptu trip. I and my friend decided to go to Caral and found this trip package. We booked, and everything went well. My pickup was on time, and I found the tour guide in Caral was exceptional! He really knew about Caral as he had worked for more than 25 years! I learned a lot from this trip.

Rich history and great guide! - Caral has a very interesting history and informed guides who care about the site and their work. Incredible that the site was only found 30 years ago! It is very worth the long 3.5 hour trip. I would highly recommend going with Joanna who was our second guide and translator at the site.

Interesting ruins without the crowds! - Caral is very interesting and relatively undiscovered. You won't have to deal with crowds as you explore the ruins. Johanna was a great guide! It is a long day of traveling, though.
