Guided visit to the Caral archaeological complex
Guided exploration of the main pyramids, circular terraces, residential areas, amphitheater and plazas of Caral. The guide explains the site's historical context and architecture. Walks are on packed earth with some uneven surfaces.
Tips from local experts:
- Paths include uneven ground and low steps—use comfortable, supportive shoes and take the provided walking aids if needed.
- Carry a hat, sunscreen, and a refillable water bottle; shaded areas are limited around the ruins.
- A valid passport is required on the day of travel—keep it accessible for check-ins or site verification.
Visit to the Supe Valley (Valle de Supe) - viewpoints and farms
Short visit and photo stops in the green Supe Valley to observe local agriculture, river views and mountain backdrops. Time to enjoy the landscape and take photographs.
Tips from local experts:
- Respect private farmland boundaries; stay on public viewpoints and follow the guide's directions.
- Because terrain can be uneven, use the short rest breaks to sit and enjoy the scenery if needed.
- If you require shade or seating, ask the guide in advance so they can prioritize shaded stops.

Tips from local experts:
- Inform us of dietary restrictions in advance so the restaurant can accommodate senior-friendly meal options.
- Request a table away from the entrance if you prefer quieter seating and easier access for sitting/standing.
