Inti Raymi in New York

The Abya Yala Foundation organized the Inti Raymi ceremony in New York last Sunday, honoring the traditional event that is celebrated in Cusco every June 24th, on the winter solstice of the southern hemisphere, a cultural festival that is performed to honor Inti, the Incas’ sun god.

The event in New York was held near the San Marcos church at 2nd Avenue and 10th Street where attendants enjoyed traditional dances and music from Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Mexico and American natives.
