Overview

This is the oldest known city in the Americas, developed simultaneously with the ancient cultures of Mesopotamia and Egypt about 5000 years ago!

Get back in time in a millennial trip and get immersed in this oustanding pre hispanic citadel: Temples, pyramids, amphitheater and the main squares. From the top, you could appreciate all the majesty of the Valley of Supe.

Caral has won praise for its beautifully preserved ruins and intriguing collection of artifacts, including a quipu (a unique knot system used by ancient Andean civilizations) and a number of musical instruments fashioned from animal bones, but definitely not there trace of war or weaponry!
