Mysterious Circular Ruins: Moray

A fascinating site believed to be an agricultural experiment station of the Inca civilization. The site features massive circular depressions layered in concentric rings, where temperature and humidity reportedly vary depending on the level 🌽. It is said that the Incas cultivated crops here and researched varieties that could withstand different altitudes and climates. While terraced fields can be seen at various Inca ruins, the circular design is likely unique to this location! Don't miss the breathtaking views on the return journey along the Inca Trail from here!!! - Admission fee: Approximately 10 soles (around 400 yen) or available as part of a multi-site ticket - Access: Tours from Cusco are convenient (popularly paired with the Maras Salt Mines) Alternatively, you can take a colectivo to Urubamba and then a taxi. However, taxis here have a fixed high rate, so if you're traveling solo, joining a tour might be more cost-effective 💰.
