I needed a rest after Salkantay. We were just going and going for almost 3 weeks. A couple of days of rest was taken to recharge the batteries. There is a festival that opens the harvest, held every year in Cusco. It is called Inti Raymi. Its is an offering to the sun god to bless the harvest. This festival is also the official kick-off to the tourist season (another type of harvest :-) ).
Before the actual festival, there are groups from most surrounding towns and the university faculties that put on a display around the main square. Its very colourful and loud, but once I’d seen a couple of groups I had enough.
A couple of groups. They dance the whole time they move around the square.
