It is famous for the sunken amphitheater, formed by four circular platforms that seem to disappear into the puna, in the manner of an artificial crater. It seems that the place constituted an Inca agricultural research center dedicated to experimenting crops around different altitudinal levels of its plots (some more than 100 m deep). The terraces, built on retaining walls filled with fertile land and watered by complex irrigation systems, allowed cultivating more than 250 plant species.



Moray (3500 masl) is located 74 km from the city of Cusco. 9 km northwest of the city of Maras (25 minutes by car).



The largest gallery has a depth of 45 m and the average height of each height is 1.80 m. It is considered that the place was an important experimentation center during the Inca period. Through the use of concentric platforms and due to the fact that the temperatures at each level are different from others, all the ecological floors that encompassed the Tahuantinsuyo empire have been reproduced.
