INTI RAYMI
Inti Raymi is
one of the biggest and impressive celebrations in Peru; it’s homage to a God in
Inca culture called Sun. The celebration takes place at the Ruins Sacsahuaman.
This celebration
of Inti Raymi goes back almost 450 years. “The Sun was
removing, the cold was increasing, in the dawns the water was frosted,
therefore, it was necessary to ask him to the Sun to return, that on having
striped the morning twilights did not continue advancing towards the north. So,
it was necessary to bear witness to the god Inti.” This is how they explain the Inti Raymi.
Every year thousands of national and
international tourists came especially to see this impressive ceremony, where
two llamas are sacrificed. This celebration is celebrated on June 24th.
