The agricultural sector occupies all the southeastern part of the citadel. It presents a series of terraces of different shapes and sizes built into the hillsides that are up to 4 meters in height, and whose two main purposes were for crop growing and controlling rain-produced erosion.
The agricultural sector is divided into an upper and lower half. The upper half presents five sections, the Apacheta (sacred marking stone), and over forty terraces. The lower half has seven sections, four major fields and around 80 terraces. |
