Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun, is a vibrant and colorful celebration that brings together locals and tourists in Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. This festival not only honors the Inca sun god, Inti, but also revives the rich traditions and rituals of the past. On our exclusive 4-day tour, we offer you a deep immersion into this cultural event, ensuring a unique and enriching experience.
Inti Raymi was established during the reign of the Inca Pachacutec in the 15th century and is one of the most important festivals of ancient Inca society. This celebration, which marks the winter solstice, symbolizes the renewal of time and the reaffirmation of life.
Today, the festival takes place in Cusco’s historic locations, including the Coricancha and the fortress of Sacsayhuaman, with hundreds of actors performing ancient rites with dramatic and authentic splendor.
Upon arrival in Cusco, a city tour awaits you, including visits to the Temple of the Sun and other significant sites. The preparation also includes a briefing on the history of Inti Raymi.
From a privileged location, you will witness the ceremonies that take place at Qorikancha and culminate at Sacsayhuaman, offering a spectacular view of the traditional dances, rituals and offerings.
After the festival, the tour continues with visits to other historical sites around Cusco and the Sacred Valley, providing a deeper understanding of Inca culture before your return.
