historic ceremony of Inti Raymi was reconstructed in 1944 for the first
celebration of the 'Dia del Cuzco.' The theatrical play is an attempt to
interpret that which occurred in the Incan epoch. The recreation is based on the
available chronicles, which are not in exact agreement. The ritual was composed
in his Native Quechua by Faustino Espinoza Navarro, who also played the Inca for
many years. The present day event is held in the Saxsayhuaman amphitheater. The
hillsides and the monument terraces surrounding the amphitheater fill with a
vast crowd for this event. The event occurs on the morning of the Winter
Solstice, as was the case in the prehistoric era. The reenactment portrays only
the religious portion of the ancient nine day festival, its invocation, which
originally began before sunrise on the solstice. The reenactment occurs later in
the morning.
