3. 10:30 AM: During the Inca period, Moray was likely one of the most important agricultural research centers. Here, the Incas experimented with different crops at varying altitudes. The unique layout of its circular terraces creates a remarkable range of microclimates—capturing the higher temperatures at the center and gradually cooling toward the outer levels. This ingenious design allowed the Incas to study and adapt crops for different regions of their vast empire

Die Plaza de Armas ist das Herz der Stadt, umrahmt von der Kathedrale und der Jesuitenkirche La Compañía. Inka-Mauerwerk ist im ganzen Zentrum erhalten, am berühmtesten im Qorikancha, dem Sonnentempel, auf dem die Spanier ein Kloster errichteten, und im zwölfeckigen Stein in der Straße Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, das Handwerkerviertel, steigt steil an, mit Werkstätten und Cafés.
