June 24: Inti Raymi (Sun festival), Cusco
Inti Raymi Sun-feast, Saqsaywamán, Cusco, Peru
Cusco celebrates Inti Raymi (feast of the Sun, which in Europe was once celebrated as midwinter-feast, and nowadays as Christmas). In time of the Incas, this was a religious ceremony. Now, it is a beautiful theatrical representation of the tradition back in the days.
The Inti Raymi festival generates a feeling of identity in the town, that evokes values and memories. It also brings to memory a time that lives in the heart of the town of Cusco (Qosqo). The piece is expressed in the original Quechua-languages (Runa Simi & Qapaq Simi), and starts at the Temple of the Sun (Qorikancha),
after which it’ll continue on the Main Square and, finally, to Saqsayhuaman.
