Acueductos de Cantalloc is an ancient irrigation system located in the Nazca region of Peru. It consists of a network of small underground channels that carry water from the mountains to crop fields in the desert. The system was built by the Nazca people around 500 AD and is still functional today.
The system is made up of over 40 underground channels, which range from a few meters to over 1km in length. The channels were dug by hand into the desert soil, and the underground water flow was directed to fields of cotton, maize, and other crops. The system was extremely efficient and provided enough water for up to 3000 hectares of land.
The Acueductos de Cantalloc is considered an engineering marvel for its time, and it is still studied by modern-day engineers for its innovative use of technology and its sustainability. The system has also been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Today, visitors can take guided tours of the Acueductos de Cantalloc and learn about the history and engineering behind this fascinating ancient irrigation system.
