The first option we offer is the one that includes the two most important locations. That is, assistance in Qoricancha and Sacsayhuamán. By booking this service we guarantee transportation, tickets and seats to witness the ceremony in both locations. In this sense, we begin with pick-up from your hotel, accompaniment to Qoricancha, guided and then transportation and access to Sacsayhuamán, along with a box lunch. Likewise, information and translation of the ceremony is guaranteed. Finally we will make the return trip to Plaza Regocijo.

If you purchase this second option, we offer pick-up from your hotel. We will continue with transportation to Sacsayhuamán, where you will be given a box lunch. Transportation is comfortable and you only travel for about 20 minutes. Once in Sacsayhuamán, you will appreciate the ceremony that brings together the 4 of you, with dances and live music. At all times you will be assisted by a professional guide. At the end of the ceremony, we will descend to Plaza Regocijo in the transport we ascended.

Since Inti Raymi begins, it has been developed in three different scenarios.
The first of them is in Qoricancha, the second is the Plaza de Armas and the last place is in Sacsayhuamán.
From 8:00 in the morning the drums begin to vibrate inside the Qoricancha.
Little by little the dancers and musicians give way to the Inca who requests permission from the Inti or Sun god to start the festival.
