I’ve noticed that in every city we’ve been to—Cusco, Lima, Paracas—there are many buildings that have been partially constructed. Often, the bottom floor is complete (but perhaps vacant) and the top floor(s) still have exposed rebar and are roofless. This trend appears to be for both residential and commercial structures.

I visited Nazca 20 years ago and they said they don’t bother with roofs for two reasons.
1. It never rains. Ever.
2. No roofs are better when earthquakes.
