ANDEAN TERRACES OF PISAQ

In almost all the archeological park of P’isaq there are andean terraces that served as agricultural areas, the inka’s engineers took advantage of the geography of the mountain, they approached the lower fields and to add more agricultural spaces they built terraces on the hillsides of the mountain and that is how they could feed so many inhabitants like were during inka times, those terraces have also channels to be provided by water, that is why the andean territory is considered as one of the eight centers of origin of agriculture in the world.
