Even the most urban corners of Moray hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Qechuyoq amphitheater and Muray amphitheater offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Salt mines of Maras for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Mysterious Inca agricultural terraces carved into natural depressions in the Andes, creating concentric circles that served as an ancient crop laboratory.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided nature walk route in Moray. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Qechuyoq amphitheater — the largest and deepest circular terrace system with the most dramatic temperature gradients, Muray amphitheater — a smaller set of terraces with different orientations, possibly testing wind and sun exposure, Stone irrigation channels — sophisticated water management systems that delivered exact amounts of moisture to each terrace, plus hidden gems like Salt mines of Maras — 3,000 salt-evaporation pools cascading down a hillside, often combined with Moray on day trips.
Use this page as a starting point for a Moray walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Moray. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Moray is known for archaeology and nature, but between the busy streets, spaces like Qechuyoq amphitheater and Muray amphitheater provide a different kind of experience — calmer, greener, and more grounded than a typical sightseeing route. Quieter spots like Salt mines of Maras provide the kind of rest that the main attractions cannot.
Moray is a 45-minute drive from Cusco and is usually combined with the Maras salt mines. There is no shade at 3,500m — bring sunscreen and water. The altitude can cause breathlessness. Best visited from Cusco or Ollantaytambo.
May through September (dry season). Morning visits have the clearest skies. The rainy season (November-March) can make access roads muddy. Acclimatize to altitude in Cusco first.
