Can you imagine witnessing an ancestral ceremony where time seems to stand still? The Inti Raymi, celebrated every June 24 in Cusco, is much more than an event: it is a return to the glorious past of the Inca Empire, a spectacle full of color, music, sacred rituals and energy that only the Andes can offer.
With this tour, you will not only witness the ceremony from the best places in Qoricancha and Sacsayhuaman, but you will live a complete and guided experience, surrounded by history, living culture and breathtaking landscapes. You will feel the departure of the Inca as if you were in the 15th century, hear the chants that honor the sun and see dances that have survived centuries.
