History
Moray’s concentric terraces were engineered by the Incas to create microclimates for crop experimentation; Maras salt pans have been harvested since pre-Columbian times using natural saline springs.
Conservation
These highland agro-ecosystems are fragile—stay on designated tracks, avoid contaminating salt ponds and support local businesses that practice sustainable harvesting.
