Official Program: Inti Raymi & the Anniversary Celebrations of Cusco (second two weeks)
During the last two weeks of June, there will be ten parades, three open-air concerts with light shows and the occasional fireworks, some food fairs, the legendary Inti Raymi Sun Festival, and much ringing of bells, raising of flags, and firing of guns. Here’s the official program for Inti Raymi and the second two weeks of Cusco’s anniversary month celebrations (the anniversary program for the first two weeks can be found here). The most elaborate events are in red so you know what to prioritize, but do as much as you can and don’t miss the fun!
