INTI RAYMI

Cusco, Peru | 24 June 2019

-

Celebrate the winter solstice and honour the sun god, Inti, at this unmissable Incan festival. Although commemorat­ions are held throughout the Andes, the must-see pageantry and parades take place in Cusco and at the nearby ruins of Sacsayhuam­án. The spectacle is a re-enactment of the traditiona­l ceremony, albeit minus a procession of mummies and with a decrease in the number of llama sacrifices. Locals will crowd together in the hills above to watch, although there are grandstand seats available closer to the action.
