To witness the staging of the Sun Festival, we will start the day early, as the Inti Raymi lasts nearly the entire day, from 8:00 AM until approximately 4:00 PM.

At around 8:00 AM, the Salute to the Sun ceremony begins in front of the Qoricancha temple, also known as the Garden of Gold. Here, the Inca appears to pay homage to the Sun God, and the initial rituals are performed. You will enjoy the entire ceremony with the guidance of our group guide, which will last approximately 1 hour.

After the welcome ceremony at the Temple of Qoricancha, we will walk to the Plaza de Armas to continue with the second staging, during which the Inca, his wife the Qoya, and his retinue gather at the grand Ushnu or ceremonial stage located in Cusco's Plaza de Armas. This ceremony lasts approximately 45 minutes.

After the ceremony in the Plaza de Armas, our guide will accompany us to our transportation, which will take us to Sacsayhuaman, where the third staging or main offering ceremony will take place. We will proceed to our reserved seats in the green tribune section. The main ceremony lasts approximately 3 hours, during which you will witness representatives of the four Suyos paying homage to the Inca and the Sun God. After the ceremony, we will board our transportation and return you to your hotel in Cusco.
