Moray

Inca greenhouse

Moray Archeological Site

These massive basins of concentric circular terraces were once used to study crops. Archeologists have found seeds of all major Andean crops as well as soil samples from many places controlled by the Inca throughout South America.

Though there isn’t a lot to see besides the terraces, this is still worth your time. In person, the archeological site is impressive and it’s an important site to help you understand how well the Inca controlled agriculture beyond present-day Peru.

It is very close to Maras and often lumped together in tours of the Sacred Valley.

Moray is part of the Boleto Turístico del Cusco and you cannot buy a separate ticket for only this archeological site.
