Inti Raymi Sun Fest in Cusco June 24th 2026

The Sacsayhuamán Ceremony represents the central part of the entire Inti Raymi. As the third and final stage—and the most important—it is celebrated at the summit of Sacsayhuamán, made up of gigantic rocks that until now remain a source of investigation and enigma. In this setting, the Inca and the coya (his wife) arrive to perform the symbolic sacrifice of the llama. The ceremony continues with the beautiful dances interpreted by the Akllas del Sol (the chosen maidens of the Inca Empire) can be appreciated. The Inca pays homage to the Sun God (Inti Sun) through prayers for the well-being and prosperity of Tahuantinsuyo Empire, offering Cacred Chicha and coca leaves to Inti God. At the end, the Inca expresses his satisfaction with the ceremony, and the atmosphere becomes festive and glorious, with the hope that next year will be as well. (Lasts approximately 90 minutes).
