The Nazca region is watered by the Rio Grande de Nazca, which consists of converging streams and rivers that flow from above, in the high regions of the Andes. The Nazca River and the Ica River are major tributaries. This is a dry and desolate region that receives very little annual rainfall. The lowlands are particularly affected by the lack of available moisture.
The Nazca people of ancient times created a complex system of irrigation, with reservoirs and aqueducts. They were known, too, for their fine pottery and textiles. Their designs included a creature that resembles a Killer Whale, a catlike being, and a humanlike creature that has been called the “mythical anthropomorphic being,” or the “Spaceman.”
