Swamps Of Huanchaco
Swamps of Huanchaco, also known as ''Wetlands of Huanchaco'' is an ecological Chimu reserve located in Huanchaco Beach, about 14 km northwest of Trujillo city, Peru.

Tourist and ecological park Huanchaco Totorales The ancient ''mochicas'' developed formidable cultivation techniques in the arid coastline of northern Peru. One is planting ('dug wells') to find the water near the sea. The brackish waters were able to adapt the totora (Scirpus californicus). The reeds allowed the to be considered lords of the Pacific Ocean since ancient times. The Huanchaco fishermen were shown as eminent navigators, making long trips overseas in their reed boats.

Totora (plant)
Totora (''Schoenoplectus californicus'' subsp. ''tatora'') is a subspecies of the giant bulrush sedge. It is found in South America, notably on Lake Titicaca, the middle coast of Peru and on Easter Island in the Pacific Ocean. The genus ''Schoenoplectus'' is closely related to ''Scirpus'' and sometimes included therein. This plant can reach a height of and commonly reaches .Iltis, A., and P. Mourguiart (1992).

The people of the mid-coast region of Peru have used totora to build their caballitos de totora, small rowed and straddled fishing vessels, for at least 3,000 years. The Uru people, an indigenous people predating the Inca civilisation, live on Lake Titicaca upon floating islands fashioned from this plant.

Caballitos De Totora
Caballitos de totora are reed watercraft used by fishermen in Peru for the past 3000 years, archaeologically evidenced from pottery shards. Named for the way they are ridden, straddled ('little reed horses' in English), fishermen use them to transport their nets and collect fish in their inner cavity. The name is not the original name, as horses were not introduced to South America until after the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire. The ancient Mochica name of the watercraft is ''tūp''. They are made from the same reed, the totora (''Schoenoplectus californicus'' subsp. ''tatora''), used by the Uru people on Lake Titicaca, and considered part of the Peruvian's National Cultural Heritage since 2016. Current use Fishermen in the port town of Huanchaco famously, but in many other locations practically, still use these vessels to this day, riding the waves back into shore, and suggesting some of the first forms of wave riding.

Ecological
Ecology () is the study of the relationships between living organisms, including humans, and their physical environment. Ecology considers organisms at the individual, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere level. Ecology overlaps with the closely related sciences of biogeography, evolutionary biology, genetics, ethology, and natural history. Ecology is a branch of biology, and it is not synonymous with environmentalism. Among other things, ecology is the study of: * The abundance, biomass, and distribution of organisms in the context of the environment * Life processes, antifragility, interactions, and adaptations * The movement of materials and energy through living communities * The successional development of ecosystems * Cooperation, competition, and predation within and between species * Patterns of biodiversity and its effect on ecosystem processes Ecology has practical applications in conservation biology, wetland management, natural resource management ( ...

Moche (culture)
The Moche civilization (; alternatively, the Mochica culture or the Early, Pre- or Proto- Chimú) flourished in northern Peru with its capital near present-day Moche, Trujillo, Peru from about 100 to 700 AD during the Regional Development Epoch. While this issue is the subject of some debate, many scholars contend that the Moche were not politically organized as a monolithic empire or state. Rather, they were likely a group of autonomous polities that shared a common culture, as seen in the rich iconography and monumental architecture that survives today. Background Moche society was agriculturally based, with a significant level of investment in the construction of a sophisticated network of irrigation canals for the diversion of river water to supply their crops. Their artifacts express their lives, with detailed scenes of hunting, fishing, fighting, sacrifice, sexual encounters, and elaborate ceremonies. The Moche are particularly noted for their elaborately painted cerami ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
