Plot

Waru Waru is the name given by the inhabitants of the Puno highlands to an ancient agricultural technique that allows them to make use of the vast flood-prone plains. By raising the land into large ridges and using dikes, canals, and drainage systems, they are able to create favorable conditions for farming.
