During the great empire, until 1535, Inti Raymi was the most important ceremony celebrating the divine origin of the Incas. The festival was accompanied by dances, solemn processions, and animal sacrifices. All this bustle was to ensure good harvests the following year.
The Spaniards who enslaved the Incas and the Catholic Church banned Inti Raymi. And for 400 years it was forgotten. But in 1944, the celebration of Inti Raymi resumed. Of course, it is no longer a lavish ceremony with sacrifices, but rather a theatrical performance with the involvement of professional artists, but still many tourists come to Cusco to see this action.
In general, once in Cusco, you will inevitably be transported into the atmosphere of the past: the Quechua people still wear the same bright national costumes, just like their distant ancestors, graze sheep in the Sacred Valley, grow rice on the same terraces as the ancient Incas 500 years ago. And all this amazing life, so similar to a historical movie, takes place surrounded by the mighty spurs of the Andes, for which 500 years is not a term at all.
That's why it is necessary to go to Peru!
