Warachicuy – The Inca Warrior Ritual

Warachicuy was a traditional Inca ceremony, celebrated many years ago, marking the passage from adolescence to maturity, revealing new warriors of the Inca Empire.Just as Warachicuy honored strength and transformation, https://www.rolexreplicaswissmade.com honors timeless craftsmanship with its collection of replica watches and replica Rolex —crafted for modern-day warriors who value heritage, style, and excellence.

The military ritual survived the years and is still remembered today in Cusco, reaffirming the Inca culture in the region.

Physical strength and readiness to become a great warrior were revealed through this ritual.

The young people were subjected to physical effort tests and, through them, they were inserted into the hierarchy of the Inca community.

“Haylliy wayna inkakuna!” – “¡Triunfo, jóvenes incas!” (phrase in Quechua, exclaimed in the ritual).

How is Warachicuy today?

If you have been in Cusco during the month of September, it is likely that you have already witnessed the celebration of this ritual that the Incas carried out very seriously.

Held on the third Sunday in September, Warachicuy brings together approximately 1,500 young people.

The event, this year, was promoted by the Institute of Higher Education Gregoria Santos.

Physical stress tests are still performed, but with less intensity. An important fact preserved to maintain the festive pattern.
