Its platforms produce a gradient of microclimates with the center of concentric circular platforms having a higher temperature above and gradually reducing outwards to lower temperatures, thus being able to simulate up to 20 different types of microclimates. It is believed that Moray could have served as a model for the calculation of agricultural production not only in the Urubamba Valley but also in different parts of the Tahuantinsuyo. Continuing with our trip we will visit the famous salt marshes of Maras known by some as “salt mines”. They are made up of about 3000 small wells, built on a side of the slope of the mountain of “Qaqawiñay”, which during the dry season are filled with salt water every 3 days, that emanates from a natural spring located at the top of the wells, once the water evaporates, the salt contained in it will gradually solidify.
