Cañete River
The Cañete River flows from the Andes to the Pacific Ocean south of Lima, Peru, and its irrigated valley has been farmed for thousands of years. Before the Inca conquest it was the seat of the lordship of Guarco, which resisted the Incas for several years. The Incas then built the administrative centre of Incawasi in the valley, and the modern town of San Vicente de Cañete lies near its mouth.
