Moray Archaeological Zone, a fascinating Inca site in Peru's Sacred Valley, is renowned for its unique circular agricultural terraces, believed to have served as an experimental agricultural laboratory. Access is primarily by road from Cusco or Ollantaytambo; visitors should be prepared for walking on uneven terrain and at high altitude (~3,500m), making it less accessible for those with severe mobility issues. While possible to visit independently, a guided tour, often combined with the Maras Salt Mines, is highly recommended to fully appreciate its historical and scientific significance. The dry season (May-October) offers the best weather, though the wet season (Nov-Apr) provides lush greenery but can make paths muddy. Entry is typically covered by the Cusco Tourist Ticket (approx. S/70-S/130 for partial/full circuits, check current prices), with a visit duration of 1-2 hours at the site itself. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes, bring water, sun protection, and be prepared for varying mountain weather and potential altitude sickness.
