Price Information

(Based on Double / Triple accommodation)

Please Note

The Green Zone is less expensive as it is not facing the Inca on the very large stage in Saqsayhuaman. It is not an issue in the first 2 areas Qorikancha and Plaza de Armas but just in the huge arena in Saqsayhuaman- so best seating is zone Orange which is directly in front and Blue which is just to the sides.
But if there are no tickets left in Orange or Blue dont worry as green zone is fine
The reason is there is so much going on in the Saqsayhuaman area not just the inca!
It is a huge site and so you may be just as well saving the $30 cost for something else.
But for those who are particularly coming to Cusco for Inti Raymi show then they will probably want the Orange zone as first preference.

Last Minute Information

  • ---
  • The Inti Raymi or Feast of the Sun was in Incan times, one of the most important ceremonies that took place on annually in Cusco capital city, (Cusco, Ciudad capital de los Reynos y Provincias del Grande y Riquísimo imperio del Peru. -El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega), Qosqo the capital city of the Tawantinsuyo, (ancient name of Peru), between the end of the harvest period and the beginning of the vernal equinox of the Andes, in the second half of June. The Inti Raymi at the time of the Incas was the equivalent of what today is for us the New Year festival. This was a Feast at which the new year began and ended all the previous -crop year, between the months of May to June, and also began the new agricultural cycle from July, so the period since the last week of June and early July was a period of transition from an old agricultural year to a new one, then the Feast was dedicated in honor to the Sun, revered, recognized and grateful for the fruits and foods that (Pacha-Mama) the mother nature gives us and allows us to live in abundance and peace.
