English: The Paracas culture was an important Andean society between approximately 800 BCE and 100 BCE, with an extensive knowledge of irrigation and water management. It developed in the Paracas Peninsula, located in what today is the Paracas District of the Pisco Province in the Ica Region of Peru. Most of our information about the lives of the Paracas people comes from excavations at the large seaside Paracas site, first investigated by the Peruvian archaeologist Julio Tello in the 1920s.

Español: La cultura Paracas fue una importante civilización precolombina del Antiguo Perú, del periodo denominado Primer Horizonte, que se desarrolló en la península de Paracas, Provincia de Pisco, Región Ica, entre 700 años a. C. hasta 200 años d. C.. Es contemporánea en parte con la cultura Chavín que se desarrolló en el norte del Perú. La mayoría de información sobre los Paracas proviene de las excavaciones arqueológicas emprendidas en Paracas-Cavernas y en Paracas-Necrópolis por el arqueólogo peruano Julio C. Tello y su discípulo Toribio Mejía Xesspe en los años 1920.
