The ancient Inca irrigation systems were a marvel of engineering and resourcefulness, designed to sustain agriculture in the challenging mountainous terrain of the Andes. The Incas, who thrived in South America from the 15th to the 16th century, implemented various ingenious techniques to manage water resources effectively. Among their many accomplishments, the Inca’s mastery of irrigation systems stands out as a testament to their ability to adapt and thrive in the challenging mountainous terrain they called home.

Tipón aqueduct (near Machu Picchu), is one of three ancient American hydraulic structures still working today.
