Inti Rymi- celebration of the sun

peruvians celbrate everything and have festivals all the time, iäve seen a few but on the 21 june every year peruans celebrate a inkan tradation of celbrating the sun, its filed with festivites with perades, dancing, offering a llama (:( fake though) to the gods for the gift of the sun. This was really cool, i will show you and just shut up :P
it was reaaaaaaallly hot though , we were sitting up on top of a moutain for like an hour waiting for the festivites to start, i'm blistering now and feel like i have lepracy :P really hoping i don't get cancer...but awelll...sunscreen people sunscreen!
here we are on top of that hilll looking down at the sacrificial alter.


During festivites they always bring out their mummies to celbrate with them.
