Moray – Sacred Valley, Peru
The remarkable terraces of Moray lie high in the Sacred Valley of the Andes Mountains. Built by the Inca civilization, the site consists of a series of circular agricultural terraces carved deep into the mountainside.
These concentric terraces create distinct microclimates at different elevations, leading many researchers to believe that Moray functioned as an agricultural research center where the Inca experimented with crops suited to different environments.
Today the site offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the advanced agricultural knowledge of the Inca Empire.
