Great trip! Great Value. I considered a lot of different plans on how to visit to Caral, and I really do think this tour is the best way to visit. Our day went great, our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, took great pics, and the value is unbeatable. It was easy and many times faster then getting a series of buses and taxis, The guides working at Caral don’t speak english so it’s really essential to have an English speaking tour guide, ours was able to answer our many questions. We got picked up in the morning in a nice car, stopped to grab some food to go for breakfast, and were at Caral early. We were some of the only ones there. It was amazing. After like 2 hours we left Caral, got a great lunch nearby, and went to the viewpoint which was beautiful. Me and my girlfriend loved the trip!

Everything was perfectly organized! In the morning the driver picked me up at the agreed place, where he dropped me off in the evening. The tour of Caral with an English-speaking guide was amazing, then in Barranca a great meal at a restaurant on the beach and ending with a view of the Pacific on Cerro Colorado. Thanks for a luxurious day!! 👍👍👍 Michal
