DRMumbai: With the staging of the Inti Raymi ‘A new dawn’ as a framework, Peruvian authorities have launched the 2018 Cusco Festivities during an event that took place at the Huaca Pucllana archaeological site in Lima.
The staging included an impressive display of film technology, led by the Inka, the Colla and the Imperial entourage. The same actors will perform this act at the Sacsayhuamán esplanade in Cusco on June 24. The ritual represents the birth of the Sun and its relationship with the Inca culture.
This presentation was an outcome of the strategic alliance between Emufec, an entity that promotes celebrations, customs and cultural manifestations in the region, the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism (Mincetur), the Ministry of Culture and the Municipality of Miraflores.
The image of Cusco was highlighted worldwide to promote tourism and the cultural wealth of the city. The Inti Raymi in its contemporary version has been organised since June 24, 1944, when the festivities of Cusco were instituted to remember its millenary origin and the cradle of the great Inca civilization.
Roger Valencia, Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, Carlos Moscoso, Mayor, Cusco, and the full board of Emufec S A, among other national and local authorities, attended the event.
