(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.

INTI RAYMI Winter solstice Sun`s Festival -Full Day on June 24 -Group Service.

INTI RAYMI JUNE 24th
The Inti Raymi or Festival of the Sun was an Inca ceremony that took place on an annual basis in Cusco, the capital of Tawantinsuyo, between the end of the harvest period and the beginning of the vernal equinox of the Andes, ie 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 party at which a 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 party was dedicated to that event.

Inti Raymi ( The Great Festival of the Sun), Festival of the magnificent ritual of the Sun in the esplanade of Sacsayhuaman where you will be able to apprecciate the most venerated Incas celebration.
