Inti Raymi Festival - the sacrifices of the Llama




The next part of the ceremony is the sacrifice of the black llama. The llama is carried to the center and a fire is lit to offer the sacrifice to the Sun- (The llama is not really killed - but it is convincing.) Members of the tribe light fires in 4 corners of the plaza. Members of the royalty and the tribes continue their dance of celebration.
