Inti Raymi, The Fabulous Incan Festival of the Sun in Peru

Peru is an incredible place to teach English and travel, especially during June. Enjoy the sun, culture, natural beauty, and rich history. In South America, the winter solstice takes place in June and one of the largest celebrations is Inti Raymi, the Incan Festival of the Sun in Cuzco, Peru. The festival celebrates the Incan New Year and includes a parade with colorfully dressed Peruvians in traditional costumes dancing to traditional music. During the ceremony a golden chariot takes the Sapa Inca, the emperor, to the hilltop of the ancient ruin, Sacsayhuamán. Find out more about this lavish festival here and here.
