Welcome to Caral, the Oldest Settlement of America!!

Caral Supe, constructed 5,000 years ago, is the symbol of the political power and religious of the first state in Peru. Its located North of Lima, in this very fertile valley of Caral. Its altitude is 400 meters above sea level and the climate is warm and dry, most of the year. In summer (January to March) is very hot.

This archaeological site was constructed in this desert plateau, divided into two zones, the high section to the north and the low to the south. It’s believed that this design separated the social classes, the old from the new which is the Andean pattern of duality and division of spaces (Hanan and Hurin).

The high section has the most important constructions such as the pyramids and circular plazas meantime the low part presents minor buildings.
