• Cusco Jubilee Month Launch (Desfiles Folclóricos)

    June is Cusco's Jubilee Month. Throughout these two weeks, daily massive folklore parades take over the historic center. School children, university students, and local institutions perform synchronized traditional dances in brilliant regional attire to honor the city.

  • Inti Raymi (The Festival of the Sun)

    The absolute highlight of Cusco's calendar. Inti Raymi is the ancient Incan winter solstice ceremony honoring the Sun God. The theatrical re-enactment spans three historic stages: beginning at Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun), moving to the Plaza de Armas, and concluding with a massive main performance at the fortress of Saksaywaman.
