    In Cusco, Peru, Inti Raymi is celebrated annually on June 24th during the winter solstice to honor the Inca sun god Inti. Actors and dancers perform ceremonies in traditional clothing at the Coricancha complex and Plaza de Armas, awaiting Inti's appearance. The most important event occurs at Sacsayhuamán fortress, where the Inca pays respects to the sun, says a prayer in Quechua simulating a sacrifice, and a shaman predicts the coming year's prosperity.

    In Cusco, Peru, we have an interesting and cultural holiday called Inti Raymi.

    It takes place on
    June 24th and it’s celebrated every year during the winter solstice. During this time, all people
    have a lot of fun! Before the holiday, people of different countries go to Cusco to celebrate Inti
    Raymi. When Inti Raymi begins, there is a theatrical representation outside the Coricancha
    complex. A lot of actors and dancers participate here! They dress up in typical clothing and
    perform historical ceremonies. After that, people go to Plaza de Armas to continue the
    ceremony. They await the appearance of the god Inti in silence and they thank him for the
    prosperous harvests of the year. The last activity is the most important and it takes places in
    Sacsayhuamán fortress. Here, the Inca and his entourage pay their respects to the Sun and
    then, he says a prayer in Quechua and simulates a sacrifice. Finally, the shaman predicts the
    prosperity of the coming year. I’d like to attend this holiday one day.
