Moray

Moray is an enigmatic site near Maras, with three deeply depressed sets of concentric terraces. Not much is known about the site's purpose, as there are few documentary sources related to it. If you enlarge the photo, you should be able to see the precarious steps used for climbing down each terrace.


Quinoa, a high altitude crop, growing at the bottom of the largest, reconstructed terracing.


Tourists for scale.

Les photos sont magnifiques ! Dommage que la France soit si loin du Pérou.
Amitiés de France.
