Created at: 21 Dec 2025

Description

Throughout the valley concrete trenches pop up that use rain water and fog for irrigation of bananas, sugar cane, rice, cilantro, potato’s and many more.

HDPE pipes are used for drop irrigation or to transport water from the water streams to the terraces.

Occasionally tiny dams were constructed for water retention in the stream and larger open water buffers made from concrete fill up with rainwater for bathing and irrigation purposes.

The terraces are made from local rock. They prevent erosion and enable the farmers to easily walk through the steep hills of the valley

Public pool along a walking trail. Maintenance is done by the inhabitants of the villages around
