There were several reasons that led to the Inca civilization to make the sacrifices and offerings to the Sun. One was the Inca, as the Cuzco nobility, were considered to the natural children of the Sun and should correspond with sacrifices and offerings. On the other hand, if the corn crop was good, had to thank you and if it was bad, had to beg for the coming year to compensate them with a good production.


In June (winter solstice), the sun was going away, the cold increased in the early mornings were frosty water, therefore, had to ask the sun to come back, that does not scratch the morning twilight continue moving toward the north. Finally, we had to show him the god Inti, eternity and total surrender of their children, with submission and respect.

 

More than six centuries, the Inca Pachakuteq instituted the Feast of the god Sol Cusqueños currently still account for the Inti Raymi with the same fervor with which their ancestors performed in the splendid times of the empire.

 

The Inti Raymi, contemporary version is from the June 24, 1944 when the festivities were instituted in the city in memory of their ancient origin and cradle of the Great Inca Civilization.
