The Andenes de Moray, located near Maras in the Cusco Department of Peru, is a fascinating archaeological site featuring circular terraces believed to have been used by the Incas for agricultural experimentation. The site is easily reached from Cusco via a combination of bus and taxi or as part of a guided tour, which is recommended for insightful historical context. Visitors can also explore on their own if they prefer. The best time to visit is during the dry season from May to October for clearer skies and better hiking conditions. Entrance is typically included in the Cusco Tourist Ticket, which costs around 130 Peruvian Soles (approximately $35 USD) for a partial ticket option focusing on the Sacred Valley. Plan to spend about 1-2 hours at the site. Be prepared for higher altitudes and bring sun protection, water, and comfortable walking shoes. No special permits are required unless you opt for a private guide.
