The Mysterious Circular Terraces of the Incas

This place is called Moray, an archaeological site in Peru that contains Inca ruins. It is located approximately 50 kilometres (31 mi) northwest of Cusco, on a high plateau at about 3,500 metres (11,500 ft) above sea level. The site is known for its circular agricultural terraces, which were likely used by the Incas to experiment with crops and create different microclimates. Some experts believe that Moray was a kind of experimental farming laboratory, but its exact purpose is still being explored and debated. Moray is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular tourist attraction in the Sacred Valley of the Incas.
