Like the Incas, who always celebrated the winter sol-stice in their Inti Raymi (or Sun Festival in Quechua) every June 21, and the people of Jujuy, who continue to do the same on June 20-21 at a monolith on the Tropic of Capricorn, the northwestern Argentine province of Cata- marca will stage its own fiesta in honor of the Sun in the city of Santa María from June 20 to 22.
