History
The Nazca culture (c. 200 BCE–600 CE) constructed the geoglyphs and complex water systems; Cahuachi served as a major ceremonial center for regional gatherings.
Conservation
The geoglyphs are fragile—avoid off-trail walking and support certified local operators; tourism income helps fund site protection but visitor limits and respect for signage are essential.
