The Cantalloc Aqueducts are a series of aqueducts located 3 kilometres east of the city of Nazca, Peru, built by the Nazca culture [1]. More than 40 aqueducts were built, which were used all year round [1]. The aqueducts ensured the supply of water to the city of Nazca and the surrounding fields, allowing the cultivation of cotton, beans, potatoes, and other crops in an arid region [1].
