Itinerary
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.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
