Maras & Moray ATV Tour
Descripción:
Maras Moray is an archaeological site located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in the Cusco region of Peru. This place is known for its fascinating circular terraces of different sizes and depths, resembling a natural amphitheater.
It is believed that the terraces were built by the ancient Incas for agricultural purposes, as they provide a unique microclimate that allows the cultivation of a variety of plants and crops. Additionally, it is believed that the terraces were also used for agricultural experiments and astronomical observations.
The Maras Moray site also features other structures and ruins, such as an Inca temple and some irrigation channels. It is believed that this site was used as a center for agricultural research and experimentation, and it held great value for Inca culture in terms of agricultural development and advancement.
Today, Maras Moray is a popular tourist destination in the Sacred Valley of the Incas and serves as a fascinating showcase of the ancient Inca civilization’s agricultural ingenuity and knowledge.
