The CHAQUITACLLA was a kind of foot plow.
This was one of the most important agricultural farming instruments of the Andean world.
According to archaeological sources, the chaquitaclla is an ancient instrument, dating even from the beginnings of agriculture in America.
It flourished in the period of the ancient INKAS and it is still used in some areas in our highlands.
The chaquitaclla, is a sharp stick with a somewhat curved tip, which can be made of stone or metal.
In addition, this tool has another cross stick which the farmer rested his foot to sink into the ground and then tilting the main mast remove a portion of the land and thus make a groove.
