The Nazca culture flourished here between 100 BC and AD 800, leaving behind the famous Nazca Lines and the ceremonial city of Cahuachi. Today, Nazca is the largest city in Peru’s Nazca Province, amid a southern coastal system of valleys. Ancient underground aqueducts called puquios still function across the region, with the earliest ones believed to come from the preceding Paracas culture.
