Cook's studies that the deforestation of the Cuzco Basin by the hand of man, and modern methods of tillage on unterraced slopes, have caused an unusual amount of erosion to occur. Landslides are frequent in the rainy season. Opposite Saylla is Mt. Picol, whose twin peaks are the most conspicuous feature on the north side of the basin.
