Besides being a charming little town tucked in a fertile valley surrounded by desert, Casma is also the place to stay if you plan on visiting the Sechin ruins nearby. Recent discoveries at Sechin have revealed it to be the most important archeological site in the Americas, The Egypt of this hemisphere. Here lies proof in temples recently discovered that Sechin is in fact the oldest civilization in the Americas dating back to 5000 BC.

Here Julio climbs the "Mirador" or lookout point with his nephews and nieces to better appreciate the view of Casma and it's ancient secrets buried underneath its sand.
