CHINCHERO, MARAS & MORAY
After visiting the Indian market
of Chinchero, we continue our trip with a visit
to Maras; an
Indian village of typical colonial era
architecture, before continuing to Moray.
Moray
is a unique site in many ways. It
is not the ruin of a city or a fortress: it is
an earthwork. The ancient people of the region
took four huge natural depressions in the
landscape and sculpted them into multi-level
agricultural terraces that served as an
experimental agricultural station for the
development of different crop strains. The
terracing survives intact, forming regular
concentric layers flowing harmoniously into the
land.
