Therefore, maintaining the chacras (fields in Quechua) is a vital community need and in this case, that includes an irrigation system.
Fortunately, I was impressed to find that the village has a complex canal system that winds all throughout the valley. The locals have engineered a system that channels the water from the river into canals, streams and even a lavadora (washing station) to be able to rinse the veggies they harvest. By harnessing this natural resource, farmers can water their fields despite the challenging terrain.
