At Moray, park the ATVs and explore the site on foot. Discover the remarkable circular Inca terraces, believed to have been an ancient agricultural research center where the Incas experimented with different crops and microclimates.

Enjoy free time to admire this unique cultural landscape, capture incredible photos, and browse locally made handicrafts and the region's renowned pink salt.
