Highlights

A transportation service will pick you up from your hotel and you will travel to Northern Lima. After a four-hour trip, you will arrive in Caral, the civilization that created the oldest urban complex (of the same name) in America, which redefined the history of societies when it was discovered that it is 5,000 years old, as old as China, Egypt, Indía and Mesopotamia. Caral shows large pyramids, squares, atriums and altars on which various sacred ceremonies and offerings to deities were performed. After the visit, you will have time to enjoy lunch (by your own) and then return to Lima City.

About Lima

Lima, Peru's capital on clifftops above the Pacific, is a city of colonial plazas, pre-Inca ruins and an exciting, celebrated food scene.

The historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, revolves around the Plaza Mayor, with the cathedral, the Government Palace and the Archbishop's Palace with its carved wooden balconies. The Monastery of San Francisco hides catacombs beneath its yellow church, and the colonial mansions around it recall the riches of the viceroyalty.

Top-ranked sights in Lima: Miraflores, Lima Plaza Mayor, Church and Convent of Saint Francis (Iglesia y Convento de San Francisco).
