An indigenous people of pre-Columbian South America who lived in what is now northern Argentina and Chile.
From Spanish, derived from the Diaguita language and culture. The name likely comes from local indigenous language, though its exact etymological meaning is debated by scholars studying pre-Columbian societies.
The Diaguitas had one of the most sophisticated agricultural systems in South America, creating complex terrace farming in the Andes that allowed them to grow crops at impossible heights—some terraces still work today!
