Inti Raymi
Based on very sparse historical records, this performance is a probably fanciful reconstruction in the 1940s of a ceremony that used to be performed in Plaza de Armas centuries ago. In 1535 it was banned by the Catholic Church. The current production is located at Saqsaywaman, the former fortress overlooking Cuzco.
