Moray archeological center is very close to the salt mines of Maras, This was a complex of worship to the gods of the moon (Killa) and the sun (Inti) where special crops of corn and Andean grains were cultivated to give them as an offering to these gods and the priestly caste of the Inca Empire. Spectacular photos await you at Moray, an unmissable place!

Moray is an archaeological site in Peru approximately 50 km (31 mi) northwest of Cuzco on a high plateau at about 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) and just west of the village of Maras. The site contains unusual Inca ruins, mostly consisting of several terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is approximately 30 m (98 ft) deep. As with many other Inca sites, it also has an irrigation system. The purpose of these depressions is uncertain, but their depth, design, and orientation with respect to wind and sun creates a temperature difference of as much as 15 °C (27 °F) between the top and the bottom.
