The Nazca Aqueducts

The Nazca people have built more than 40 underground water canals to carry the water from the Andes to the valley.. Even if it never rains in Nazca water descends underground from the Andean Cordillera towards the sea. The aqueducts are 3 to 6 meters deep. These photos are of the breathing holes that were built down in to the aqueducts. They were used as clean outs. They are very strong and have survived many earthquakes.The Nazca culture (often spelled Nasca) flourished in the Nazca region between 300 BC and 800 AD.
