Itinerary and highlights
Pick-up from your hotel in Cusco (within the Historic Center), followed by the journey to Umasbamba.
The Andean wedding is an ancestral Inca tradition in Cusco, Peru. It represents a sacred spiritual union and lifelong commitment with Pachamama (Mother Earth), Tayta Inti (Father Sun), and the Apus (protective mountain spirits).
This ceremony purifies, blesses, and unites two souls with love and wisdom for eternity.
The experience begins with a warm welcome featuring traditional music and an herbal infusion, followed by a brief introduction to the Andean wedding ceremony. The couple then changes into traditional clothing and takes part in a spiritual ceremony at Piuray Lagoon, led by an Andean priest.
Afterward, the celebration continues with a toast, dances, and congratulations from guests. Finally, the group returns to the venue for cultural activities, including a textile demonstration, handicraft shopping, and a farewell with traditional music.
