Inti Raymi Ticket 2026

Inti Raymi is a vibrant and ancient Inca festival celebrated during the winter solstice in Cusco, Peru. This grand event honors the sun god, Inti, and marks the Inca New Year. The festival is a mesmerizing display of colorful costumes, traditional music, and captivating ceremonies that reenact ancient Inca rituals.

The itinerary for the Festival of the Sun has been updated for Inti Raymi 2026. The celebration begins at 8:00 a.m. with a symbolic ceremony at Coricancha, the Temple of the Sun. Today, EMUFEC (the Peruvian organization in charge of organizing the festival) is selling tickets for seats in front of the temple where participants can witness the “awakening of the festival and the greeting of the sun”.

The festival then moves to Cusco’s main plaza, where the “meeting of the two worlds” takes place, symbolizing the fusion of Andean and Spanish cultures. Finally, the grand main ceremony takes place at the Sacsayhuamán fortress, where participants dressed in elaborate Inca costumes gather to witness and participate in ancient rituals. The Inca Emperor offers prayers and thanks to the Sun God, asking for blessings for a prosperous agricultural year.

To fully experience the magic of Inti Raymi, visitors must secure an Inti Raymi ticket, which grants access to the festival at Coricancha and Sacsayhuamán. This ticket is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the Inca civilization and witness the spiritual significance of this extraordinary celebration.
