The solstice falls on June 21. Otavalo and other Kichwa communities mark the days around it, and the local program is set each year. This page names the solstice, not a guessed parade hour.
What it is
Inti Raymi is the Andean sun festival. In Imbabura it is music, dance, and processions through Otavalo and the nearby communities, not a ticketed show.
Where
Otavalo and the towns around Imbabura. Peguche is part of the same week.
Before you go
- Ask before you photograph a dancer up close.
- Saturday in Otavalo is the market. Inti Raymi is a different reason to be there.
