A Journey of a Lifetime ( Part 4 ) Moray an Incan Ingenuity




Lulu and I took an optional tour to Moray another archeological site in Peru today. Moray has an elevation of 11,500 feet above sea level. The bus ride to Moray was very scenic --





When we finally arrived in Moray,  we were not disappointed. We had seen pictures of Moray's perfect circular terracing. The massive and perfectly circular construction under the huge Andean sky makes you absolutely venerate the Inca architecture skills.


According to Jesus, Moray is one of the "agricultural laboratories" the Incas used. Here they learned how to cultivate crops on different altitudes. Moray is an amazing site to see. You need to go  down to the circles in order to feel the difference in temperature and appreciate the strong echo in the middle of the largest circle below.
