Tour Reviews
Caral is a huge, windswept city in a barren desert. It feels like you are visiting Egypt instead of Peru. And it is older than the pyramids in Egypt! The city was inhabited 4500 years ago, by an ancient civilization that had no pottery and no metalworking
The site itself consists of nine step pyramids, and an ancient amphitheater where they have found the remains of pelican bone flutes. The size and age of the site is awe-inspiring.
The site is about three hours outside of Lima. Most of the drive is on the excellent panamerican highway, but the last thirty minutes or so are on a bumpy dirt road (as of Aug. 2011). Seriously, don’t let that deter you though — it is well worth the time. We only had a day and a half in Lima, and we used the full day to go to Caral, and I do not regret it at all.
Caral is slightly hard to review for me because our experience had some pros and cons, thought overall, it’s such a hugely significant attraction in the grand scheme of life and history, that it’s impossible not to recommend.
