History & Background
Moray consists of concentric circular terraces that resemble a Roman amphitheater. Due to their design and orientation, the temperature difference between the top and bottom circles can vary by up to 15°C (27°F), allowing Incas to domesticate crops from different climates.
How to Arrive
Take a private taxi from Urubamba/Maras, or book a combined Maras/Moray tour from Cusco.
Practical Travel Tips
- Included in the Cusco Tourist Ticket (Boleto Turístico). Have it ready.
- Walk the path around the upper edge to appreciate the massive scale of the circles.
- Avoid visiting in heavy rain as the dirt paths can become extremely slippery.
