The party of the Sun- Inti Raymi

In these days of June I have heard many Peruvian and foreign travelers wanting to travel to Cusco, the reason is very simple, they want to participate in the largest Inca festival in Peru, we are talking about the Inti Raymi, but ... by asking about the celebration, many They did not know why or the meaning of the festival of the sun, how it began or what was the main reason. I am not going to bore you with a lot of history, I am just going to touch specific data and I will start by saying that this party was established by the most respected Inca in the empire, “Pachacutec”, back in 1430 as part of its reorganization (remember that this Inca was a revolutionary in his time, thanks to him the Inca empire was formed), then, the 2 most important festivals were created in honor of the Sun God, one of them is the Capaq Inti Raymi party (the party of the great sun), it is celebrated In the summer solstice, on December 21 and the best known, the Wawa inti Raymi or festival of the sun child, which is celebrated for 15 days, starting at the winter solstice, on June 21, with dances, rituals and sacrifices , all in the presence of the Inca ...

Now that you know what this party is about, we just have to enjoy it and the great show that Cusco people do when they represent this Inca ceremony.
