This image, obtained after processing a Google Maps image, shows some waru-warus, that is, the "raised fields" - earthworks separated by canals. This is an ancient agricultural technique used by Andean people starting from the first millennium BC. Each raised field is approximately 10 meters large and more than one hundred long.
