About the Inti Raymi — Festival of the Sun
The Inti Raymi («Festival of the Sun» in Quechua) was the most important religious festival in the Inca Empire — a ceremony of gratitude and worship offered to Inti, the Sun God, held annually on June 24 to mark the winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. The Inca calendar was solar, and the winter solstice — the shortest day and the point at which the sun begins to return — was the most sacred moment of the year.
At its historical peak under the reign of Pachacútec (the 9th Sapa Inca, who built much of what we now call Machu Picchu), the Inti Raymi lasted nine days and involved the entire population of Cusco. Thousands of llamas were sacrificed, chicha (corn beer) was offered to the gods, and the Sapa Inca himself led the ceremony at Qorikancha before proceeding to Sacsayhuamán.
The Spanish colonial government banned the Inti Raymi in 1535 as part of the forced Christianisation of the Andean population. For over 400 years, the ceremony existed only in the oral tradition of Quechua communities.
In 1944, Cusqueño playwright Faustino Espinoza Navarro revived the ceremony as a theatrical re-enactment based on the written accounts of the 16th-century Inca chronicler Garcilaso de la Vega. The modern Inti Raymi has been held every June 24 since then and has grown into one of the most attended cultural events in South America, drawing over 50,000 spectators from around the world.
Today the ceremony features over 500 performers in meticulously researched Inca-era costumes, performing a scripted re-enactment entirely in Quechua. UNESCO has recognised the cultural significance of the event, and the Peruvian government has declared it part of Peru’s national cultural heritage.
