Peru Vallee del Colca

With the lushness of snow-melt irrigation on ancient terraces, it is a bit hard to imagine that the surrounding slopes support an arid scrub of cactus.
From memory the crops were mostly cereals, potatoes, corn and beans.
Photographed at 3,500 m elevation near the town of Chivay in south-west Peru.
