Suka Kollus
They are a pre-Hispanic agricultural system developed by the Tiwanaku culture in the Andean region. This system consists of the creation of elevated cultivation platforms interspersed with water channels. The channels, known as suka uma (water furrows), surround the platforms and help drain excess water and moderate temperatures, protecting crops from frost.
