Picking cotton with Chinese labor on irrigated land at the foot of the Andes. Vitarte, Peru. (ca. 1900).
Tens of thousands of people immigrated from China to Peru via Macau as indentured servants in the second half of the nineteenth century, marking the first wave of Asian immigration to the country. Today, the Chinese-Peruvian community is over a million people strong.
