Underground Aqueducts


The Nazca not only made the Nazca lines but also built another technological marvel, there underground aqueducts. The Nazca made these aqueducts to move water from the few water sources they had to places farther inland. They had walls made of stone. The Nazca called there channels Pukios. After the water was moved to the designated area it was stored in above ground reservoirs. The longest Pukios stretched 500 yards. To this day it is unclear how they were made.
