MORAY

Inca Agricultural Laboratory It is located 40 km from the city of Cusco, and 7 km from the town of Maras, at about 3500 meters above sea level. The word Moray seems to come from the corn harvest that took place in the month of May that was called Aymoray and also by the dehydration of potatoes that is called Moraya or Moray. Moray was possibly an Inca agricultural experimentation center where experiments were carried out, since the temperature varies in its platforms in the form of concentric circles. Having the highest temperature in its central circle and gradually decreasing as they rise, there are 20 different types of microclimates. It is believed that Moray is attributed as a model to calculate the production of the Urubamba Valley, as well as other places. Why does it have that name? There are many theories as to why the name, among them: • It is in Quechua and means: “territory occupied since ancient times”. • It comes from the corn called “Aymoray”. • For the month of planting, according to the Inca calendar, which would be May. • It comes from the name of the dehydrated potato “Moraya”. What is your weather? It has a dry and temperate climate, its temperature is between 21 °C during the day and 1 °C at night. When is it advisable to go?

They are made up of more than 3000 pools of 5 m² in the Qaqawiñay ravine, they are fed by a saline underground spring of more than 110 million years during the formation of the Andes mountain range. Giving it an impressive landscape with the ravine and the mountains. This salt is marketed by the residents in different presentations, including chocolates. What is its location and altitude?
