📅 Date: 2nd and 3rd of May
📍 Location: Squares, hills, and neighbourhoods of Cusco

A celebration that combines Catholicism with ancestral traditions, the "Cruz Velacuy" is one of the most emblematic festivities of the Andean people. Music, prayers, dances, and fireworks surround sacred crosses in a night full of spirituality and community.

🎶 With Peru Latin Tour, you can experience this festival from within! We accompany the “mayordomos” (festival organisers) in traditional neighbourhoods, offering exclusive access to rituals that you won’t find in a guidebook.

2. ☀️ Inti Raymi – La Fiesta del Sol

📅 Date: 24th of June

📍 Location: Sacsayhuamán Fortress, Qorikancha, Plaza de Armas

Considered the largest celebration in the Andean world, the Inti Raymi is a historical recreation of the Inca worship to the Sun God. Over 700 actors perform on stage, wearing ancestral costumes, with live music and stunning rituals that turn Cusco into a gigantic living stage.

🔥 Live the Inti Raymi from the front row with Peru Latin Tour. We offer packages with preferential seating, private transport, specialised guides, and access to exclusive activities before the event.

3. ✝️ Corpus Christi – Tradition and Syncretism


📅 Date: 9 weeks after Holy Thursday

📍 Location: Cusco Cathedral and Plaza de Armas

More than just a procession, Cusco’s Corpus Christi is a spectacle of faith and tradition. 15 saints and virgins are paraded through the streets from the city’s churches and are welcomed by crowds in the Plaza de Armas, accompanied by dances, music, and the traditional chiriuchu, a special dish prepared only for this occasion.

💃🏼 Experience it with us from the most exclusive colonial balconies, with a tasting of traditional cuisine included. An unforgettable cultural and gastronomic experience!

4. 🙌Lord of the Earthquakes – Patron Saint of Cusco


📅 Date: Holy Monday (a week before Easter)
📍 Location: Cusco Cathedral and the historic centre

This is the most emotional and crowded procession of the entire year. The image of the Taytacha de los Temblores, the patron saint of the city, parades through Cusco surrounded by flowers, incense, chants, and thousands of faithful. It is said that his intervention saved the city during the earthquake of 1650.

✨ With Peru Latin Tour, gain access to the best viewing points, participate in the preparations, and understand the religious significance with our guides specialised in Andean art and culture.

5. 🎄 Santurantikuy – Cusco’s Most Traditional Christmas Fair

📅 Date: 23rd and 24th of December

📍 Location: Plaza de Armas, Cusco

The Christmas spirit is experienced in a unique way in Cusco. Santurantikuy, or "the sale of saints," transforms the main square into a colourful religious art market. Here, you can purchase unique pieces made by the region’s finest artisans, such as the famous Niños Manuelitos, emblems of Cusco’s popular art.

🎁 Include this experience in your end-of-year trip to Peru, with art and culture tours, visits to artisan workshops, and a magical night under Cusco’s Christmas lights.
