The satellite view shows this off much better than Wikipedia's ground-level picture. It Really is just a long band of holes dug into the side of a mountain.
At 1m diameter and 75cm deep, so ~0.59m^3, I calculate that to fill the Albert Hall, which a search suggests "has been estimated at" ~100,000m^3 (feels low to me, but it's quoted in many places), it takes around 170,000 of these Peruvian holes.

It seems obvious to me they were made by the landing pylons of heavy-lift alien spacecraft.
