The Inti Raymi is an ancient Inca religious celebration in

Cusco, although it also had special relevance in the
Andean north of present-day Ecuador. the Incas
worshiped their God: "The Inti or Sun". Formerly the Inti
Raymi lasted about 15 days, saicrifaices were made and
dances or dances were presented to worship the "Sun
God". The last Inti Raymi that was carried out with the
IN T presence
I R A YofM theI Inca Emperor was in the year 1535; one
year before ¨The Spanish Conquest¨ in 1536. Inti Raymi
is celebrated every June 24 of every year during the
winter solstice, in other words the beginning of the
Andean New Year.

It is celebrated on June 22 in Ecuador (Cañar, Pichincha

 IMPORTANCE
Traditions are part of our culture and help us
understand where our family members come
from. Traditions are especially important for
young people who live in a different
environment than previous generations,
including their parents or uncles. Traditions
help you understand your roots and develop
your identity. In the same way, traditions help
us understand the roots of the ideas of family
members and those around us.
