A cold wind from the high Andes pushes across the plateau as riders mount ATVs and stare down at terraces carved like amphitheaters into the earth. Engines rattle to life, and the group moves off—red dust rising behind each quad—toward snow-capped peaks that frame the Sacred Valley.

Moray’s concentric terraces were an Inca agricultural experiment to create diverse microclimates; Maras salt pans have been harvested since pre-Inca times by local families.
Conservation
The terraces and salt pans are fragile; visitors should stick to marked paths and support local cooperatives that manage salt extraction and artisan communities.
