More than six centuries ago, the Inka 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. RECOMMENDED
