📅Every June 24th, Cusco comes alive with the vibrant celebration of Inti Raymi, the ancient Incan festival dedicated to the Sun God, Apu Inti. On this special day, the city honors the sun and pleads for its return as it is when the sun is farthest from the earth. 🌎 🇵🇪 This incredible event survived the Spanish invasion and continues to captivate locals and visitors alike. 🗺️
🎊It is one of the most important celebrations in Cusco and cannot be missed if you are travelling in Peru or when you are here to learn Spanish with us. Be prepared to enjoy a unique experience in Peru that will always be remembered.🧳
🏞️ The festivities begin at Qorikancha with dances and songs, offering a tribute to the Sun God, and continue to the Plaza de Armas. The most important part of the ceremony takes place at Sacsayhuamán. Here, the Inca pay their respects with prayers in Quechua and a symbolic camelid sacrifice a shaman performs to predict the coming year’s prosperity.
💃🏼Witness more than 800 performers in their traditional clothing bring history to life through dances, performances, and praises. This theatrical spectacle, filled with mysticism and spirituality, offers a glimpse into the rich Incan heritage.
