Often compared to the seven wonders of the world, it’s believed that they were built mostly by hand about 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) above sea level. They are fed by an ancient irrigation system from the rainforests above the terraces. It is said that if the steps were put end to end, it would encircle half the globe.
