Each June 24, the Andes remember something that the indigenous peoples of the continent knew about before anyone: the sun isn’t just a star. It’s the centre of life, the cycle of crops, the reason why the earth gives what it gives.
The Inti Raymi, the festival of the sun, has been held centuries in Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia. And this year, June 24, 2026, 3 Soles restaurant in Chia adds to that celebration in a way that makes every sense: with Andean cuisine, countryside atmosphere and the energy of three Latin American cultures assembled at a single table.
If you’re looking for a different plan by June 24, here’s everything you need to know.
What’s Inti Raymi and why’s June 24
Inti Raymi means “sun party” at quechua. It was the most important celebration of the Inca calendar, performed every winter solstice of the South hemisphere to honor Inti, the sun god, and thank for the crops of the year.
The Spanish conquest was prohibited but never completely disappeared. It was strongly resounding in the twentieth century as a living cultural expression and today it’s held in several Andean countries. At Cusco, the ceremony at the fortress of Sacbayhuaman convoks thousands of visitors every June 24. The celebration has been more visible in Colombia as part of an increasing interest in the continent’s pre-Hispanic roots.
It’s not a folk date for a display. It’s a celebration that connects with something real: the relationship between Andean cultures, and the earth and food that come from them.
Why 3 Soles is the place to celebrate Inti Raymi
The name says from the start: 3 Suns. Colombia, Mexico and Peru, three kitchens with roots in cultures that understand the world from nature, cycles and earth.
But something more concrete. The 3 Soles Country Space with its green areas and with its tree-to-tree kiosks and an open atmosphere of the Sabana have a natural connection with the Inti Raymi spirit. It’s necessary to decorate a great deal while the environment’s already part of the celebration.
And Andean cuisine, represented at the menu through Peruvian plates such as ceviche, pitted loin, chaifa rice, light cause and pisco sour, have direct roots in the tradition that date celebrates. The corn, the potato, the aji and the pits: ingredients that the Andes put into the world and that are still at the centre of that kitchen.
The Inti Raymi’s 3 Soles Gastronomy Experience
3 Soles will prepare a special celebration with an emphasis on Andean and Latin American cuisine by June 24. The photos of the event speak for themselves: abundant trays with meat, tubers and vegetables served in rustic containers with Andean ceramics and background. A esthetic that directly links with the tradition of pachamanca, the great collective festival of the Andes.
The regular menu of the restaurant is available during the celebration with all the variety of the three kitchens. But there are plates that especially suit the spirit of the day:

To share with the centre:

- Tataki in camu ponzu
The 3 Sole space at Inti Raymi
One of the elements that makes special the celebration of Inti Raymi in 3 Soles is space itself. The restaurant logo, surrounded by natural vegetation, metal decorative soles and a colorful bench with a hand-painted light, already has some of that Latin American identity that date convoks.
Green areas, open-air kiosks and the restaurant’s wood architecture create an atmosphere that doesn’t require a costume. It’s a country, it’s a Latin American, it’s an authentic one.
