The celebration of the “Inti Raymi” on June 24th, in honor of the Sun God, is made in the three historic and natural sceneries:

The first stage takes place at the “Qurikancha” or the temple of the Sun of the Incas; the most important temple in the Inca Empire. The celebration begins at 9:00 a.m. and last for 45 minutes.

The second stage is at The “Plaza de Armas” or the main square; in the time of the Incas this vast square was used for important ceremonies, which took place entirely in the great “ushnu” or ceremonial platform. The ceremony here begins at 11:00 a.m. and ends one hour later.

The third and most important stage is at the “Saksaywaman” which is a citadel on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire. The name is in the ancient language used by the Incas (Quechua) which translated into Spanish means “satisfied falcon.” Here the ceremony begins at 13:30 p.m. and lasts for one and half hours.

The full tour includes all of the stages of the Inti Raymi with exclusive seating at the main event in Sacsayhuaman.
