They were terrace farms with modern steps, there probably weren't stairs but rather ladders as is common in Peru with the benefit that if you pull up the ladders ascending the terraces is not as easy as it would seem given the fact they could hurl rocks on you from either side.

Multipurpose farms, that's pretty rad
