We continue to the Moray ruins, used by the Incas as a type of open-air crop laboratory. They are circular terraces which have different temperatures at different levels, and therefore the Incas were able to develop different types of crops at these different levels.

It is attributed to the Wari culture, which emerged in the central highlands near present-day Ayacucho, flourished around 1000 AD, and may ultimately have been overwhelmed by the Incas. We then continue to Andahuaylillas village (3198 mts), a small town surrounded by mountains and the Vilcanota river which is known as the Urubamba river in the lower sections. We will visit the famous colonial church known as the "Sistine Chapel of America". Later enjoy the main square of Andahuaylillas before returning to Cusco. Its leaf rich trees of Pisonay (trees of Coral) and palm trees make this square a special place.
