Moray is an archaeological site with impressive circular agricultural terraces which were constructed by the ancient Incas. The site consists of several concentric rings of terraces that descend deep into the earth, resembling an amphitheater.

The purpose of the Moray terraces is believed to have been experimental agriculture. Each terrace has a different microclimate due to variations in temperature and exposure to sunlight. The Incas used this unique design to study and cultivate different crops, taking advantage of the varying conditions within the terraces. It is considered an engineering marvel and a testament to the advanced knowledge and skills of the Inca civilization.

Visiting Moray allows you to explore the intricate terraces and learn about the agricultural practices of the Incas. The site offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys, providing a breathtaking backdrop for your visit. As you wander through the terraces, you can appreciate the ingenuity of the Incas and their deep connection with the land.

Exploring Moray offers a glimpse into the ancient agricultural practices of the Incas and provides a deeper understanding of their remarkable civilization.
