First used by the Lima culture during the 1st century, the 29.2-kilometre (18.1 mi) canal is the longest in the city of Lima and irrigates a large part of it, passing through 12 districts. Alongside the Huatica, it is one of two pre-Incan aqueducts that continue to be fully operational to date. It is part of the Cultural heritage of Peru.
