Long before the Inca Empire rose to greatness, a mysterious city emerged from the desert sands of Peru — a place so ancient, it predates the Great Pyramids of Egypt. With no signs of warfare, no written language, and no pottery, how did this complex society build one of the earliest urban centers in the Americas? It's time to journey to the heart of Peru’s most sacred ruins and discover how its greatest archaeological treasures are rewriting everything we thought we knew about the ancient world.

Join New York Adventure Club for an exciting five-part series uncovering the most iconic archaeological sites of the Andes — each one holding clues to a complex world of spiritual depth, architectural ingenuity, and forgotten civilizations. In Part One: Caral, we’ll explore one of the oldest cities in the Americas and how it challenges everything we thought we knew about early human development in the Western Hemisphere.

Led by Peruvian Tour Guide and cultural expert Vanessa Vasquez, our deep dive into the secrets of ancient Peru will include:

• The astonishing age and scale of Caral, and how it was built without pottery, writing, or warfare
• What archaeological finds reveal about its peaceful and complex society
• The design of its pyramids, plazas, and sunken circular courts, and what it tells us about urban planning in ancient Peru
• Insights into the society’s spiritual and scientific sophistication, including early musical instruments and astronomical alignments
• How this forgotten city rewrites the global timeline of civilization, and its role as the cradle of Andean culture

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with Vanessa — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
