At the end of June there is a festival in Peru called Inti Raymi.
"Inti Raymi was and is a traditional Inca religious festival, a way to worship the sun god, Inti. Not only did the date mark the end of winter, but also the winter solstice: the beginning of the days getting brighter and longer again."
Communities living in Cusco - Peru and throughout the Andes still celebrate Inti Raymi with music and colourful costumes welcoming lots of travellers.
Everyone is welcome!

"The state of Puebla in central Mexico is normally known for being the ultimate place to visit on the 5 May. Historical re-enactments with residents dressing as French and Mexican soldiers and group meals are common.
Cinco de Mayo is also recognised in the United States and Canada. This usually involves a feast of Mexican cuisine and dancing to Mexican music. "
Even if this year the celebrations might be postponed, at LifePoints we believe it's always time for a dance, because it boosts our mood.
To mark the beginning of the Buddhist New Year, there are Water-Splashing Festival all over Thailand.
Images of Buddha are bathed in water and younger Thai people show respect to monks and elders by sprinkling water over their hands.
Despite this traditional element to the festival, people tend to know these festivals for one thing mainly: getting completely drenched!......yes, you can expect water wars with locals and tourists playing with super-soakers!!
This festival takes place also in Laos, where parties and processions can go on for up to .... 10 DAYS!!!!
