The aqueducts of Nazca, known as “puquios,” are an ancient irrigation system located in the Nazca Desert of Peru.
Dating back to around 300-600 CE, these remarkable constructions were developed by the Nazca civilization to manage water resources in one of the driest regions on Earth.
The puquios consist of spiraling channels and underground aqueducts that tap into underground water sources, providing a reliable water supply for agriculture and daily use.
Ingeniously engineered, the aqueducts demonstrate advanced hydraulic knowledge and remain functional to this day, reflecting the ingenuity and resilience of the Nazca people.
