Itinerary

Day 1

A full ay tour to visit the Sacred City of Caral, located 207 kms to the north of Lima, in the Supe Valley. Discovered 15 years ago by Dr. Ruth Shady, a Peruvian Archaeologist. According to what she says, because of its size and architectural complexity, is the most important settlement of one of the earliest civilizations in the world, as old as Mesopotamia, Egypt, India and China. Tests performed and the results obtained, confirm that the City had a prolonged occupation and that was continually remodeled between 3,000 and 2,000 B.C.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
