MORAY Moray, located approximately 20 kms by road and/or trail from Urubamba and approximately 60 kms from Cusco, is a group of concentric terraces, adapted from naturally formed depressions, whose warmest level is at the bottom. The variation in temperature, between the lowest and highest terraces, was found by Prof. John Earls to reach as much as 15 degrees celsius. The varying micro climates, provided by the location and terracing, allowed the Incas to slowly adapt more than 250 varieties of plants, from different climates and altitudes, to the climate and altitudes of the Sacred Valley. This laboratory allowed the cultivation of corn and other crops at high altitudes which contributed greatly to the development of Andean civilisations and the economic development and expansion of the Incan Empire.
Moray is a popular stopping place, en route, for Mountain Bike tours between Chinchero and Urubamba. We can organise half day or full day tours that include Moray.
In early September, local people visit Moray to celebrate the Moray Raymi or the Sun's Party.
MARAS, LAS SALINERAS and PINCHOGOTO In Maras you can view some of the well maintained colonial architecture and from there you can descend to Urubamba via Las Salineras, the Salt Mines of Maras, that have been used for hundreds of years by the local people and the Incas and are still in use today. From Las Salineras you can descend to Pinchogoto (small community where the inhabitants still use caves as part of their dwellings) on the floor of the Sacred Valley. |
