This site is 38 miles northwest of Cusco, Peru. At first glance it seems a sort of amphitheater, consisting of several circular platforms, located at 3,500 meters.
Moray is reached by way of the village or directly from a detour off the main road. Moray is Quechua and appoints occupied by peasant communities Misminay sector kaccllarakay
The word Moray had something to do with the corn crop Aymoray named, or the month of May, which is also called Aymoray, and also with the dehydrated potato is or Moraya Moray.
For students of this place, Moray was possibly an Inca agricultural research center where experiments were carried out at different heights crop. The arrangement of its platforms microclimates produces a gradient having the center of the concentric circular terraces higher temperature and decreasing gradually toward the outside at lower temperatures, thus being able to simulate up to 20 different types of microclimates. It is believed that Moray could have served as a model for the calculation of agricultural production not only Urubamba Valley but also from different parts of Tawantinsuyu.
The Andean variety of products is vast and unlikely to believe that all peoples of the highlands had the vision, capacity and conditions to discover new varieties. He had to be a place where the seeds came from (Moray). There was no deed in the Inca empire, why, you just have to make assumptions. While it would be wonderful to discover the truth.
