Hi Andrea,
Hi Fernando,
Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the guide. The vehicle used that day was a modern 2023 minivan with nine rear seats, and there were only four passengers. We always leave an empty seat between passengers and never operate tours at full capacity. We’re sorry it still felt uncomfortable.

A long but great day.
From our early start to return to my hotel 12+ hours later I had a wonderful time. Seeing outside of Lima was interesting and Jose, our guide was excellent at explaining not only the Caral site but the cultural behind it. Our stop in Barranco, with lunch at a popular seafront restaurant was a welcome addition to our time in the area. All in all no regrets- money well spent.

Amazing Tour of Caral
We booked our visit to Caral Archaeological Site with Peruna Tours - amazing! If you get a chance, visit Caral. Such an incredible site brimming with historical value. Our guide Carolina was so knowledgeable and ensured our day was special. We were picked up at our apartment in Barranco by Carolina and our driver Elvis - he was so professional and ensured a safe and comfortable journey. Highly recommend Peruna Tours and so take the time to Visit Caral.

Although it is a very long drive it was definitely worth it. Caral is really interesting and the guide is very knowledgeable and friendly. Lunch was great by the sea. If you are interested in history definitely go for it.

No title
It is well worth the early morning rise and the long trip there and back. You’re also seeing parts of the country.

Good trip, recommend if you like ancient places.
Great to visit this ancient site. Tour is compulsory but this is good. All quite basic as an active archaeological site. Not many visitors. Road in a bit knackered. It is quite a long day from Lima. Food at lunch stop was good but watch as portions are large.

An incredible experience!
This trip to Caral and Barranca is incredible and I would definitely recommend you do this if you have the time when in Lima! José is an amazing guide: very friendly and knowledgeable about the site. Antonio was a fantastic driver, too! It seems like this tour is usually run with quite small groups so it feel very personal, which was a surprise but a welcome one! The pickup and dropoff was smooth and directly to my hotel in Miraflores. The food at Tato in Barranca is some of the best I have had in Peru and it was relatively cheap too (only 25 soles for a quite a big portion size of the tacu tatu).

Fascinating place, brilliant guide!
Jose was a brilliant guide and Elvis made us feel very safe in the car. Caral is a fascinating place and Jose gave us lots of information and answered all of our questions. There weren't many other group tours there so it doesnt feel overun by tourists and we didnt feel rushed. We enjoyed Barranca too, the restaurant was great and the views were fantastic

Hidden gem outside of Lima
A visit to Caral is a must if you have a day spare in Lima, but be warned it is a very long day (12 hrs turned into 14hrs for us). Very grateful for all the expertise our guide Jose provided while touring the Caral archeological site, such a wealth of info. Could have skipped the Barranca side visit personally, but understand why it's included, given the dining options.
