Moray Archaeological Site

It is an impressive archeological site built by the Inca Culture in the form of circular concentric rings to possibly recreate a series of microclimates, a biological experimental station where the Incas took advantage of the different temperatures and microclimates. In each of the circular terraces to sow a great variety of experimentally improved crops, the temperature of each terrace determined that the Incas managed to develop some 20 ecological zones where they produced products such as quinoa, kiwicha, pumpkin, squash, and a thousand varieties of potatoes.
