The annual Inti Raymi, or Festival of the Sun, maintains traditions originating from the Inca Empire. The ceremony commences at the Qorikancha, a site considered the most important Inca solar sanctuary. This location is historically significant as a central hub of religious power during the Tahuantinsuyo period. The Inti Raymi is a re-enactment of ancient rituals honoring the sun god, Inti. The festival’s continued practice at the Qorikancha underscores the enduring cultural importance of Inca heritage. The Qorikancha served as the focal point for the Inca’s worship of the sun and remains a key location for this annual celebration.
