“The Inti Raymi is a cultural manifestation that takes place once a year in Cusco — the capital of former Tahuantinsuyo Empire— between the end of the harvest period and the beginning of the vernal equinox of the Andes, in the second half of June”, said E Turbo News.
This festival is celebrated to welcome a new year and put the previous “crop year” in the past. In July begins a new agricultural cycle, and the event has been taking place for more than 6 centuries ago.
