Moray is one of the precious archaeological sites left by Incas. It is located some 50 km northwest of Cusco at about 3500 m above the sea level. The nearest town is Maras.
Moray is of unusual circular shape. Once again, this monument testifies the knowledge of the Incas. These circular terraced plateaus built in depressions were positioned in such a way that Incas could observe the wind and the sun and perhaps predicate climatic conditions and how it will reflect on their agriculture.
It is interesting that from the highest to the lowest point there is a temperature difference of about 15 degrees Celsius.
There is one more fact that contributes to the Incas knowledge. The site has an excellent irrigation system which can also be noticed in some other Inca sites.
The majority of tours to Moray part from Cusco.
