Huacos are not just clay vessels, but also remarkable pottery works of art that were intended for ceremonial and religious purposes in the Central Andes in prehispanic times. The word "Huaco" was derived from the term "Huaca". Huacas are ruins or ancient structures, mostly burial sites, where most of the Huacos were found.
