These were built by the Incas to experiment with their crops. The different layers of terraces exist in different micro-climates with a difference of 27 degrees between the top and bottom. By moving crops gradually between terrace layers, they got them to adapt to growing in different climates. The bottom level is supposed to correspond to sea level.
Potatoes originated in Peru. There are supposed to be over 3000 types of potatoes grown in the country.
