Sacred valley - Chinchero and Moray- photos




Chinchero (3760m) and Moray (3575m) in the Sacred Valley of the Incas:
- Inca agricultural ruins of Chinchero,
- Stairs in Chinchero leading to the top of the village, pretty steep!!,
- Inca ruins of Moray. It is an archeological site composed by a group of 4 elliptic platforms called "Muyus", possible used for agricultural research. Each ring is at a different altitude and therefore temperature so the study of the effect of the different conditions on crop growth could be determined,
- Lee is mid-way from the bottom of the biggest "Muyus", 150meters deep!. The guy at the bottom looks very small!.
