There are several versions about the origin of this term. On the one hand, there are those who say that it is a contraction of the words Muyu (round) and Uruy (below or in the lower part) and on the other, those who attribute it to terms such as Aymoray (corn harvest and month of May ) and Moraya or Moray (dehydrated potato).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-importance-of-moray-in-peru-during-the-inca-period\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_importance_of_Moray_in_Peru_during_the_Inca_period\"><\/span>The importance of&nbsp;<strong>Moray in Peru<\/strong>&nbsp;during the Inca period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you walk through the different archaeological sites of Cusco, you will find the famous Inca terraces, an example of the great architectural capacity of this empire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platforms distributed throughout the Sacred Valley, including those of Moray, were used as an agricultural research center. Each of them has a different temperature, so they could sow different types of products. Thus and according to studies, in the&nbsp;<strong>Terraces of Moray<\/strong>&nbsp;the Incas managed to cultivate more than 250 types of vegetables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To irrigate this entire area, they implemented complex hydraulic systems. In addition, at the bottom of the platforms they developed a method with which they managed to store and reuse rainwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But some scholars of the Inca Empire speak of&nbsp;<strong>Moray in Peru<\/strong>&nbsp;as a center also dedicated to astronomical observation and the prediction of meteorological phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-location-and-weather\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_and_weather\"><\/span>Location and weather<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As in the rest of Cusco, in Moray there are two distinct seasons: the dry season and the rainy season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the dry season, the average daytime temperature is 20\u00baC, while at night it falls to 1\u00baC. In the rainy season, the days have an average temperature of 21 \u00baC and the nights, 7 \u00baC. However, in the rainy season the roads are more muddy and, on some occasions, access can be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-am-i-going-to-see-in-ruins-of-moray\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_am_I_going_to_see_in_ruins_of_Moray\"><\/span>What am I going to see in&nbsp;<strong>ruins of Moray<\/strong>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Beautiful landscapes:<\/strong>\u00a0The set of platforms that make up Moray are visually beautiful to human eyes and, of course, to the lens of a camera. Many people come there to take the postcard photo and post it on their social networks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Circular platforms:\u00a0<\/strong>The circular platforms of\u00a0<strong>Moray in Peru<\/strong>\u00a0were a very important place for Inca agriculture. It is believed that it was a center for experimental studies that the Incas used to sow products that in other conditions could not be cultivated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adventure sports:<\/strong>\u00a0There are tours to the\u00a0<strong>Terraces of Moray\u00a0<\/strong>that include adventure by bike or even ATV. These services can be obtained at any tourism agency located in the Historic Center of Cusco.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-routes-to-get-to-moray-in-cusco\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_routes_to_get_to_Moray_in_Cusco\"><\/span>The routes to get to&nbsp;<strong>Moray in Cusco<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Archaeological Complex of Moray is located 57 km northwest of Cusco. To get here you have different options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Excursion from Cusco:<\/strong>\u00a0the most common and most used way by tourists who arrive in Cusco and want to visit Moray is to hire an excursion. In the Plaza de Armas in Cusco and in its surroundings you will find countless tourist agencies that offer this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/sacred-valley-tour\/\">Sacred Valley tour<\/a>, usually combined with a visit to the Salineras de Maras and other archaeological sites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visit by ATV:<\/strong>\u00a0an unforgettable option to visit Moray (and Maras) is to do it by ATV. Some of the agencies that you will find in Cusco offer this adventure with which you can travel a part of the Sacred Valley driving this vehicle yourself until you reach the archaeological complex. The duration of the tours to\u00a0<strong>Moray in Cusco<\/strong>, either by ATV or by bus, is at least half a day.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Taxi:\u00a0<\/strong>if you prefer to get to this destination on your own and without so many people, a very good option is the taxi. This alternative is perfect if you are traveling in a group of four people, since this means of transport is cheap in Peru and the price, divided between the four passengers, is quite affordable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the&nbsp;Sacred Valley of the Incas&nbsp;is the&nbsp;ruins of Moray, a place with agricultural terraces that, at first glance, look like amphitheat&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":454,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-453","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cusco-tips"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Moray Ruins in Cusco<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the Moray Ruins in Cusco, a unique archaeological site with circular terraces and a lot of history.
