Om
Hurtige fakta: Disse gamle spiralformede akvædukter har ledt grundvand gennem Perus tørre kystørken i over 1.500 år. Mere end 30 af de oprindelige 46 sten- og mudderkanaler fungerer stadig i dag og forsyner bomuldsmarker og vinmarker med vand, ligesom de gjorde i før-inka-tiden.
Højdepunkter: Kig ned i en af de over 30 spiralåbninger, og du vil se klart vand strømme 10 meter under overfladen gennem tunneler, der er udhugget med simple stenredskaber. Hver akvædukt bruger det gamle Nazca-folks forståelse af underjordiske filtreringssystemer, der naturligt renser vandet, når det passerer gennem lag af vulkansk sten og sand.
Insidertips
- Bring a flashlight or use your phone light to see the water moving deep inside the spiral openings.
- March to June offers the best contrast between green farmland and the golden desert backdrop.
- Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes as the ground around the aqueducts is uneven and can be slippery near the water channels.
- Skip the busy midday hours between 12-2 PM when tour groups arrive from Nazca and the heat peaks.
