The end of the college means the beginning of something new. Here in Cusco is a college, which celebrates games with their male graduates to transfer them to adulthood. It is a tradition which is only celebrated in recent years. Since the year 2,000 the male graduates have to pass some tests to become real men. Once they passed these they are receiving the right to marry, to own their own land, to start their own family etc.
You will be able to watch the games of Warachikuy every year on the third Sunday in September, 19 September this year, at the archaeological complex of Sacsayhuamán.
The today rather touristic Fiesta de Warachikuy once was taken very serious in the ancient times. It still gives you a good idea and the possibility to travel back in time and imagine how the Incas once had celebrated the new men.
Be part of this annual happening and celebrate the new men, check in at one of our FOUR PIRWA HOSTELS in Cusco. Make your reservation today!
We are looking forward to welcome you at A BETTER PLACE TO STAY!!!

Some of these are regional others are celebrated in the entire country. One of the important fiestas is the Pacha Mama Raymi, the Fiesta in honor of Mother Earth. This is a fiesta, held at the 1 August, also indicating the beginning of the Andean New Year.
A traditional ceremony is held especially in the Andean regions of Peru. The people come together to make offers to the Apu, the spirits of their ancestors, which they believe are dwelling in the mountains. The people make offers to the Apu, the spirits of their ancestors, these can include the sacred coca leafs, unwrought silver, chicha, wine and huayruro (seeds from the jungle). These serve to mediate between the inner world (the Apu and the Pacha Mama) and the outer world (the man). They believe to secure a good harvest for the coming year with these ceremonies.
