North of Lima is one of the oldest civilizations of America. Caral, located in the middle of the desert close to the Supe River, is compared with the cultures and civilizations from Egypt and Mesopotamia.
Caral is comprised of 32 architectural sites with different sizes and functions. To date six buildings and a pyramid have been excavated; a series of medium and small buildings, including temples, residential areas, public squares, amphitheater, shops, shrines,and streets have been identified. Most are still covered withthe rubble of the walls knocked down by the passage of time. A tour to Caral is the beginning of an imaginary experience 3,000 years before our time, where the grandeur, mystery and magic of the pre-Inca civilization will whet your curiousity.
