Inti Raymi in Ecuador: Witnessing the Major Andean Indigenous Celebration in Cotacachi

In this video we continue exploring the north of Ecuador, specifically the province of Imbabura, where after Otavalo, we visit San Antonio de Ibarra, Cuicocha Lagoon and attend the popular Inti Raymi or Hatun Puncha, which is the number one indigenous festivity of the Andes. The Inti Raymi, Hatun Puncha or Festival of the sun is the “big time”, the “major time”, which is celebrated with flutes, guitars, rondines, dances, the pamba mesa, loas and branches; among costumes embroidered with beautiful flowers that contrast with the environments of the communities from which this Andean cosmovision was born. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- BilDev Tours is a licensed tour operator in Ecuador, specialized in cultural and community tourism.
