The <strong>Quechua<\/strong> word for &#8216;sun&#8217;, <strong>Inti<\/strong> is an <strong>Inca god<\/strong> and the most venerated deity in the ancient Inca belief system. As we already know, the end of June marks the <strong>Summer Solstice<\/strong> in the Northern Hemisphere, and the <strong>Winter Solstice<\/strong> in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, Inti Raymi is a celebration of the <strong>shortest day of the year<\/strong> and also the beginning of the Inca calendar year. The festival is the opportunity to <strong>thank the sun god,<\/strong> Inti, for his heat and warmth, allowing crops to grow and civilisations to flourish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This festival has been celebrated for more than <strong>500 years.<\/strong> During the Inca period, thousands of people would gather in<strong> Cuzco<\/strong> (the Inca capital) to bear witness to this sacred day. Inca noblemen, priests and lay people would come together to mark the occasion, often with animal sacrifices, special dances and spiritual communion. Whilst the celebrations are a little tamer these days, the ancestors of the Incas continue to honour this important day in the Inca calendar. Visitors, tourists and locals can join in the festivities. Witnessing the colourful clothes, age-old rituals and incredible performances of <strong>Inti Raymi 2022<\/strong> is a cultural phenomenon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, it&#8217;s interesting to note that the celebrations of<strong> Inti Raymi<\/strong> have been closely tied with the Catholic festival of <strong>St. John the Baptist.<\/strong> Taking place on <strong>June 24th,<\/strong> this Christian saint&#8217;s day has, in some Andean cultures, merged with the celebrations of Inti Raymi. Therefore, celebrating <strong>Inti Raymi 2022<\/strong> is the chance to experience a fusion of cultures and one of the most important festivals in the Andes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inti_Raymi_in_Peru\"><\/span>Inti Raymi in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/america\/south-america\/peru\">Peru<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Inti-Raymi-2022-Peru.png\" alt=\"Inti Raymi 2022 - Peru\" class=\"wp-image-6051\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, you want to experience Inti Raymi in Peru? As the ancestral heartland of the Inca Empire (and home of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/machu-picchu-the-monument-and-the-mystery\/\">Ma<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/blog\/machu-picchu-the-monument-and-the-mystery\/\">c<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/machu-picchu-the-monument-and-the-mystery\/\">hu Picchu)<\/a>, the celebrations here are legendary! Concentrated in the city of<strong> Cuzco<\/strong>, Inti Raymi is celebrated on <strong>June 24th<\/strong>. A day-long ceremony, the main event takes place at <strong>Qorikancha<\/strong>, the Inca Temple of the Sun. During the rituals of Inti Raymi, actors of high esteem play the role of the Sun King and his wife. The rituals include a speech about the sun god, a chariot procession and a faux sacrifice of a llama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The procession continues to the stone temple of <strong>Sacsayhuam\u00e1n<\/strong>, on the outskirts of Cuzco. The day culminates in the lighting of a bonfire before the Inca royalty return to Cuzco on their golden chariot. The costumes, crowds and grand decorations only add to the spectacle! A truly impressive sight, Inti Raymi in Cuzco is the <strong>largest of all Inti Raymi celebrations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inti_Raymi_in_Ecuador\"><\/span>Inti Raymi in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/ca\/america\/south-america\/ecuador\">Ecuador<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.com\/uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Inti-Raymi-2022-Ingapirca-Ecuador.png\" alt=\"Inti Raymi 2022 - Ingapirca Ecuador\" class=\"wp-image-6050\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>To experience Inti Raymi in Ecuador, it&#8217;s best to head deep into the Andes. Indigenous towns and villages host the most impressive festivities. One such town is <strong>Otavalo.<\/strong> Here, the celebrations begin at midnight with a<strong> ritual cleansing<\/strong> at Peguche Waterfall. Next, vibrantly dressed locals parade into the town centre. At <strong>Plaza de Ponchos<\/strong> music, dance and performances are held throughout the night and into the following day. Indeed, all celebrations here focus on the theme of showing <strong>gratitude to Mother Nature.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The famous ruins of<strong> Ingapirca<\/strong> also host an annual celebration. Here, indigenous communities congregate to take part in traditional dances, perform music and share local food. Ingapirca is the best-preserved Inca ruins in Ecuador, hence the festivities here are among the best in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other places to take part in Inti Raymi in Ecuador include<strong> Saraguro, Cochasqui<\/strong> and <strong>Cotacachi.<\/strong> Keep in mind that celebrations in Ecuador take place on<strong> June 22nd<\/strong>, rather than June 24th as in Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now you know what Inti Raymi is, how will you mark the occasion?
