In the Prehispanic Andean world, the Pacific Ocean wasn’t an impassable frontier but a place with economic resources and transport posibilities. In the Humboldt Current ecosystem, the proliferation of marine resources was sufficient enough for the subsistence of coastal communities since the period of the first settlements. In this context of maritime adaptation, Andean coastal populations invented diversified watercraft technology, that is documented by archaeological and ethnohistorical data.
En el mundo andino prehispánico, el Océano Pacífico no fue una frontera infranqueable sino una fuente de recursos económicos y un espacio de circulación. En el ecosistema de la corriente de Humboldt los abundantes recursos marinos permiten sustentar a los grupos costeros desde la época del poblamiento. En este contexto de adaptación marítima, los pueblos del litoral andino han inventado diversas técnicas de navegación documentadas por datos arqueológicos y etnohistóricos.
