2. Inti Raymi Festiva 2010 (6d/5n) Among all Peru tours, this one combines the Cusco
Classic tour in witch you will have the opportunity to visit Cusco city,
the magnificent Sacred Valley, the wonder world Machu Picchu, additional
day for watching the INTI RAYMI sun fest. More than six centuries ago,
the Inca Pachakuteq instituted the “Feast of the god Sun” the “Inti
Raymi”. Cusco people are still representing it with the same fervor
which their ancestors made it into the splendid time of the empire.
There were several reasons which prompted the Inca civilization to make
the sacrifices and offerings to the sun. One was that the Inca and the
Cusco nobility were considered natural sons of the sun and they needed
to obey his existence, and should correspond with sacrifices and
offerings. On the other hand, if the corn harvest was good, they had to
thank him for it and if it was bad they had to beg for the coming year
offset with a good production. In June is the winter solstice, in the
Incas time they noticed the sun was going away, the cold increased, the
water was frosty in dawn, because of that, Incas ask the sun to return,
they asked the sun to return in dawn and does not proceed going
northward. Finally, there was necessary the god sun to witness the
eternity and total surrender of their sons, with submission and respect.
You can also add other Peru Tours and tailor your stay.
