Moray

Moray's concentric Inca terraces sink into the high plateau near Maras. The landform is the draw: a striking place to consider how altitude, sun and wind affected cultivation.

Moray

Why go

From the rim, the nested circles make the design legible at once. The terraces occupy different depths and exposures, prompting a plausible interpretation of Moray as a place for agricultural experimentation, although its exact purpose remains uncertain. It offers a different perspective from the fortress-like ruins elsewhere in the Sacred Valley.

What to look for

  • Concentric terraces descend into large circular depressions.
  • The entrance viewpoint reveals the shape of the whole complex.

Useful to know

  • Approach from Maras and start at the upper viewpoint to understand the layout.
  • Check the current admission and visiting arrangements before leaving for the site.
