    Moray

    MORAY, is 49.3 km from Cusco and is a unique archaeological group of its kind. These are gigantic natural depressions or holes in the surface of the land, which were used to build terraces or agricultural platforms with irrigation channels in the surrounding areas. The most interesting thing is the difference in average annual temperature between the top and the bottom of the depressions, which reaches up to 15°C in the 30-meter-deep depression.
