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.

THE STEPPED TERRACES or Andenes are amazing vestiges used by Andean farmers who planted their crops on these stepped terraces. These sophisticated buildings were made across the sunniest and most fertile slopes of the Andean Mountains and irrigated with sophisticated systems of canals. Our hotel in Cusco has three flower-filled terraces where you will be able to receive the magic energy of the Sun God, Inti Tayta, and Mother Earth, Pacha Mama while reading a book from our hotel library or just enjoy a cup of coca tea.

Our hotel in Cusco counts on fourteen fully furnished and very comfortable illuminated rooms, each well equipped with a telephone, a private bathroom, hot water all day, free wifi (internet), heating, offered at a reasonable price.

Each room has its particular design but all of them share the great style that make our guests remember their stay in Cusco. Single, double, triple, quadruple and even quintuple rooms have windows to be amazed by the beautiful view of Cusco's rain or the forest of saphi, some rooms even have skylights to wake you up in the morning with the sunlight or watch the stars at night.
