Moray

Moray is an enigmatic Inca site where giant natural sinkholes have been converted into terraced agricultural areas. Some archeologists believe these served as an agricultural experiment where Inca cultivators took advantage of microclimates provided by different elevations. Each terrace is slightly warmer and wetter than the terrace above it.
