Inti Raymi Tickets Sold Out as Cusco Girds for Jubilee Surge

Organizers say all 4,116 paid seats have been sold and authorities are adding flights and security to cope with a sharp rise in visitors.

Overview

  • Emufec confirmed on Tuesday that all 4,116 paid seats for staged Inti Raymi performances have sold out, with 3,766 places at Sacsayhuamán split across Inti Súper VIP, Chaska, Killa VIP and Illapa and 350 seats at Qoricancha.
  • Sacsayhuamán is the only Inti Raymi site that requires a paid ticket while ceremonies at Qoricancha and the Plaza de Armas remain free to the public.
  • SKY Airline projects it will fly more than 40,000 passengers on 144 flights between June 19 and 29 to serve Inti Raymi and the Fiesta de San Juan, including over 22,400 seats on the Cusco–Lima route.
  • Organizers report upgrades to the event sound system and ongoing coordination with the Policía Nacional for security, and they are awaiting official confirmation of a possible presidential visit to the June 24 ceremony.
  • Regional authorities expect Cusco visitors to rise toward 300,000 for June, which strains access to marquee sites like Machu Picchu and has led officials and media to urge travelers to book early or choose alternatives such as the Sacred Valley, Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Maras, Moray, Vinicunca and Humantay.
