The Nazca



The Nazca natives of Peru were a very successful tribe who prospered in the Nazca region (south west Peru) between 300BC-800AD. They created a whole network of underground aqueducts. However the Nazca are most widely known for creating the Nazca Lines. The Nazca also built a city largely for ceremonial purposes called Cahuachi. Cahuachi was created on the Pampa (South American lowlands) in the same area as the Nazca lines.

The Nazca are a fantastic culture which you will learn about through my blog.
