- Beware of the sun! – There has never been an Inti Raymi without sun. This day is always sunny every year, so you can’t forget to apply sunscreen, not only to your face, but to all the parts of your body that will be exposed, such as your arms, neck, ears, etc. Additionally, keep sunscreen handy and reapply every 45 minutes. Also, you should wear sunglasses and a hat; it’s no surprise that the ultraviolet rays are getting stronger.
- Wear comfortable clothing – This day is usually warm, and wearing jackets would be a disadvantage. Cusco’s weather is very varied. Wear a good pair of walking shoes because Inti Raymi lasts at least 7 hours, so you should be prepared. Weather statistics indicate that it will be a sunny day, so dress in something that won’t make you feel cold or hot. Your comfort comes first.
- Bring a hydrating drink – During the parade, women sell different types of food and drinks, and they usually take advantage of the fact that tourists are desperate to buy something and increase the prices. It’s better to be prepared and buy drinks and some snacks before leaving to avoid problems and overspending.
- Always be alert to your personal belongings – Unwanted people are always lurking for victims and they are everywhere. They usually take advantage of the crowd to reach into pockets and/or backpacks. intiraymi.org recommends that you don’t carry valuables in your backpacks and/or purses; it’s better to be safe than sorry. Remember, “Happy passengers are new friends.”
