Inti RaymiFestival of the Sun

Inti Raymi should not take place here, with people eating

and drinking and selling. This place should be kept sacred. I

know I could make a lot of money with tourists doing mystical

tourism, but that's not what it's about for me. I just want to

learn about my ancestors, learn and teach others, and I'm not

out to make money. We have a concept here

called ayni, which means

reciprocity, and that's the

way I prefer to

learn and teach.

(Hill, 2008)
