Inti Raymi in Sacsayhuamán (2)

The spectacle contains out of different parts. People who don't speak Quechua can sometimes have difficulties to follow the sections. The organizers try to give a correct historical reconstruction as far as this is possible.

In the biggest part of the Inti Raymi are the Inca and the high priest speaking. In turn honor the representatives of the four Suyus on the big square the Inca and the Sun. They dance and play music or just listen kneeled to the Sapa Inca.

A white lama is offered to assure a fertile harvest as a result of the heat and light of the Sun and the earth, the Pachamama. Until one year ago a lama was really offered but protests made this a fake act. So they tell us, but the hart the high priest holds in his hands looks real though.

At 5h30 starts the Sun kissing the horizon and this is the perfect moment to set big campfires all over the fortress. Everybody starts dancing around the fires and honors the god of fire, as essential as Sun and Rain. Extensive dancing and rhythmic music bring the Suyus together to one unity: TAWANTINSUTY or the Empire of the Four Wind Directions.
