Marvel at Inca farming expertise and ingenuity at the mysterious Moray, the ruins of a farming complex used to cultivate a variety of plants in the Andes. Reminiscent of crop circles, the three depressed circles that form decreasing terraces over one another were in fact created thanks to the dexterity of Inca hands and tools. Seeds farmed here likely made their way through to the empire itself, in order to improve crop yields in difficult Andean conditions. Read up about the processes involved before arriving to enhance your visit with greater understanding. If you're feeling activre, take advantage of a guided mountain bike tour to the site. Take a look at our Maras trip planning website to schedule your visit to Moray and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

Unbelievable what these Incas were able to accomplish in the mountains. Blows my mind! Take your time to visit the whole site and understand its purpose. I booked the sacred Valley tour with Peru...

This was a beautiful experience, we learned about the history and cultural things that take place at Moray! We got a guided tour that took us on ATVs and that made the experience just that much better! I would highly recommend!

Next Great place which is more than worth visiting. Beautiful terraced fields are in very good condition and the walking trip around will not take more than 30 minutes including some small photo stops. It was a kinda laboratory for the Inca people and it is just the next example of how smart was that culture. Thank you 🤩
