I didn't even have Peru on my bucket list, but once I visited, I couldn't get enough! Great people, great food, great weather! And the historic sites are magnificent!

Caral is not the easiest place to visit, but it is worth a day trip from Lima, highly recommended.

As for the site, it was nice. In the background were the mountains with a lot of sand. While I realize this site is 5,000 years old, I'm not as impressed as I was with Machu Picchu, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo.
But it is worth visiting, you will learn a lot about history.

So about Caral: I’ve seen quite a few archeological sites around the world (Egypt, Beijing, Petra etc) and I was pleasantly surprised! I wasn’t expecting there to be a lot, but there are multiple pyramid ruins, engravings, and really interesting discoveries about the ancient civilisation; including their incredible understanding of physics, level of organisation and peaceful society.

My boyfriend isn’t so much into history and wasn’t keen on going, but even he said it was “amazing”. If you’re in Lima and have time, go and see it! We liked it more than Pachacamac and Huaca Pacllama – although these are kind of interesting in their own right.
