Tour Information
THE INTI RAYMI FESTIVAL

The Inti Raymi is one of the most important festivals in Cusco. It’s celebrated each yera on June 24th, and it reassess the Inca traditions of the Andes. The Inti Raymi is one of the most important celebrations in South America. It’s considered as the second one, after Rio de Janeiro Carnival.

Inti Raymi means ‘Fiesta del Sol’. This event was a tribute to the ‘God Inti’ (God Sun). The ‘God Inti’ was one of the main deities worshiped by the Incas. Hence, the Inti Raymi celebrates the Winter solstice in the Southern hemisphere, when the sun starts a new cicle.

A FESTIVAL GROUNDED IN HISTORY

According to Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, the Inti Raymi was created by Inca Pachacutec as a way to submit conquered towns. During the times of the Inca empire, almost all people would gather to celebrate this incredible ceremony. The Sapa Inca, the priests, nobles, and even the peasants would come to witness the Inti Raymi. It used to display a mummy parade and llama sacrifices.

The Inti Raymi was prohibited after the Spanish Conquest. However, since 1944 this ancient Inca festival it’s celebrated in Cusco as a vindication which later became a tourist attraction.
