Traveler reviews
Awesome Tour, But Even Better Service
VIPAC Travel provided us with an excellent private guide, who was both knowledgeable and proud to share with us all the history we were so enthusiastic to learn and experience. He was also extremely understanding about the fact that one of our group was still recovering from a severe medical issue. There was a problem with the transportation vendor VIPAC subcontracted with for our return journey from Caral to Lima. But VIAPAC was outstanding in addressing the situation. If you’re looking for an excellent, private tour of Caral, I highly recommend VIAPAC.
Loved this tour to Caral and Peñico.
Lead by experienced tour guide and driver, Miguel and Joel. They made the trip safe and were very helpful and attentive.
