Corpus Christi is a Catholic festival that celebrates the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. In Cusco, this celebration is especially significant and is carried out with great fervor. This year on May 30th, 2024, the streets of Cusco are adorned with decorated altars and flowers. The procession is led by saints and virgins, each coming from different parishes and communities in Cusco.

The celebration of Corpus Christi in Cusco is an example of cultural syncretism, where Catholic traditions have merged with Andean customs. This festival reinforces the cultural and religious identity of the people of Cusco, being one of the most important celebrations in the local festive calendar.
