Inti Raymi 2024

There were several reasons that led to the Inca civilization to make the sacrifices and offerings to the Sun. One was that the Inca, as equal the Cusco nobility, were considered to the natural children of the Sun and should correspond with sacrifices and offerings. On the other hand, if the farm of corn was good, the ancient people had to thank it and if it was bad, had to beg for the coming year to compensate them with a good production.

In June (winter solstice), the sun was going away, the cold increased in the early mornings were frosty water, therefore, had to ask the sun to come back, that twilight sunlight in the morning doesn't continue moving to the north. Finally, we had to show him the god Inti, eternity and total surrender of their children, with submission and respect.

More than six centuries, the Inca Pachakuteq instituted the God festival to the sun.  The cusquenian people currently still account for the Inti Raymi with the same fervor with which their ancestors performed in the splendid times of the empire.

The actually version of Inti Raymi was realized since June 24 of 1944, when the festivities of the city were instituted in memory of their ancient legacy and cradle of the Great Inca Civilization.
