Review:

As another one of Peru's archaeological mysteries, the Incan ruins at Moray attract tourists from all around the world. The site features a bowl-like crater rimmed with wide stone terraces. Many scientists believe that the site was used as a primitive agricultural research facility: studies have shown that the temperature differences among the terraces are great enough to create microclimates, which are similar to modern day greenhouses. Even with this compelling evidence, Moray's exact purpose is unclear. Today, visitors can enjoy the remains of this well-preserved site as part of a self-guided tour.
