Very educational and interesting tour! Our guide José was very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. He painted a very vivid picture of how life in Caral was 5000 years ago and what the society of the time looked like. He also brought us to a great seafood restaurant after the tour, and then to a viewpoint to look over the ocean. Note that Caral is quite remote, so be prepared for a fairly long drive!
