Overview

Visiting Inti Raymi 2025 is a unique experience that connects you with the deep roots of Inca culture. Celebrated every year in Cusco, this festival honours the sun, symbolising life and energy. During this event, the streets come alive with dances, music, and ancestral rituals, recreating the great festival held during the Inca Empire, where thousands of people gathered to pay homage to the sun.

On the other hand, Nevado Alpamayo, considered the most beautiful mountain in the world, is a paradise for high mountain and adventure lovers. Its perfect pyramidal shape has been internationally acclaimed and is a dream for those seeking the grandeur of nature at its finest. Climbing to its High Camp offers an incredible view of its north face, a visual spectacle that will remain etched in the memory of all who witness it. A journey that combines history, culture, and nature at its peak beauty.
