The Inti Raymi, or Festival of the Sun, is the most important celebration of the ancient Inca Empire, taking place every June 24th in the city of Cusco. This cultural spectacle majestically revives ancestral rituals in honor of the Sun God (Inti), showcasing the grandeur and splendor of the Andean civilization.
During the tour, you will live a unique experience that begins at the Qorikancha, continues in the Plaza de Armas, and culminates at the impressive esplanade of Sacsayhuaman. There, hundreds of actors, traditional costumes, and folk dances bring this millennial ritual to life. With the Inti Raymi Tour, you will travel back in time, witnessing up close the history, culture, and spirituality that still beat in the heart of Cusco.
The Inti Raymi begins at the imposing Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun), the ancient spiritual center of the Tawantinsuyo. There, the Inca, accompanied by his royal entourage, offers prayers and gratitude to the Sun God. The atmosphere is solemn, chants resonate in Quechua, and the sun's rays illuminate the stone walls, marking the start of a sacred journey.
The celebration continues in the Plaza de Armas, the heart of Cusco, where the streets turn into a living stage. The royal procession advances amidst ancestral dances, Andean music, and multicolored costumes that fill every corner with energy. Here, the city vibrates in a perfect mix of fervor, tradition, and popular festivity.
The climax of the ceremony takes place at the Sacsayhuaman esplanade, a monumental space that enhances the ritual's grandeur. In front of thousands of spectators, the central act unfolds: a majestic spectacle of dances, music, offerings, and rituals recreating the sacred relationship between man and the Sun God.
