ABYA YALA Arte y Cultura, for three consecutive years, has taken on the challenge of organizing the exciting and ambitious project of bringing to Manhattan a version of the well-known Inti Raymi, a ceremony celebrated more than 1000 years ago in the Tawuantinsuyu, the Quechua nation that extended into territories that now form part of Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and parts of southern Colombia as well as northern Argentina and Chile."
