Friday June 22, 2007
Sacsayhuamán Cameron Diaz takes part in Andean Rituals-Cusco, Peru (Living in Peru): "On Wednesday, the Provincial Municipality of Cusco extended an invitation to the famous American actress to take part in all of the festivities, including Inti Raymi which is to be held on June 24 in Sacsayhuamán."

The actress has visited several places around Cuzco to a warm and friendly response.

Sacsayhuamán, also called Saqsaywaman, means Satisfied Falcon in Quechua. This huge fortress was created by the city planners of Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire, to the head of the capital, with Cuzco as the body. This is the site of a portion of Inti Raymi the Festival of the Sun.
