What is the Andean wedding ceremony like?

The traditional Andean wedding ceremony is performed by a shaman in the midst of Peru's mountain splendor, in the presence of the Apus (mountain spirits) and Pachamama (Mother Earth). It includes purification rites, rituals of the four elements, and an offering to Pachamama. You'll exchange symbolic gifts and drink to ensure the strength of your union.

What should we pack for this trip?

Pack layers for varying climates: warm clothing for the Andes (including a jacket for cool evenings), comfortable walking shoes for exploring ruins, swimwear and light clothing for the beach, sunscreen, a hat, and a camera to capture all the romantic moments. Don't forget to bring something special for the wedding ceremony!

Is altitude sickness a concern?

We've carefully designed the itinerary to help you acclimatize gradually. You'll spend your first nights in the Sacred Valley (lower altitude) before heading to Cusco. We recommend drinking plenty of water, avoiding heavy meals upon arrival, and consulting your doctor about altitude medication if you have concerns.
