Did you know?
Most people are familiar with South America's largest festival - Carnival. However, did you know that the second largest festival is Inti Raymi held in Peru? In late June, hundreds of thousands of people converge on Cuzco from other parts of the nation, South America and the world for a week long celebration marking the beginning of a new year, the Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun. Every day visitors will find events such as daytime expositions, street fairs, and people dancing in the streets. In the evenings, live music performed by the best Peruvian musical groups draws the crowds to the Plaza de Armas for free concerts. The centerpiece of the festival is the all-day celebration on June 24, where the processions begin in Cusco at Koricancha and make their way to Sacsayhuamán , where large crowds await the arrival. To experience Inti Raymi, we recommend booking well in advance as accommodations fill up quickly.
