DESCRIPTION OF THE TRIP
In Chinchero, the land of the rainbow, we offer an Andean Wedding ceremony that transforms a promise into a sacred encounter with nature and tradition. Guided by an Andean master, you will experience an intimate ritual of purification and union: energy cleansings, the exchange of offerings, and a tribute to Pachamama and the Apus, all carried out with respect and ancestral meaning.
This experience is designed for couples seeking more than a celebration: an act of recognition between two souls who wish to walk together in balance, gratitude, and commitment. During the ceremony, symbolic elements such as coca leaves, flowers, chants, and a ritual table are used to connect the couple’s intention with the energy of the valley.
After the ritual, we offer the option of a photo session in traditional attire, a toast with local products, and a small gathering with the community to share the joy of the moment. We take care of transportation, ceremonial clothing if desired, and ensure that every detail respects cultural authenticity.
This ceremony does not replace civil registration; it is a spiritual and symbolic celebration that honors Andean wisdom and leaves profound memories. If you seek a union that speaks to both the heart and the earth, celebrate in Chinchero and take with you more than photos: an experience that transforms.

Live a unique and transcendental moment by celebrating your union in a mystical setting:
the town of Chinchero, considered the "land of the rainbow," surrounded by mountains,

in harmony with Pachamama and the sacred Apus that protect the Sacred Valley.
Andean Wedding Itinerary
CUSCO + CHINCHERO + HUAYPO LAGOON + CUSCO
- In the heart of the Andes, the town of Chinchero preserves a profound spiritual tradition that celebrates the union of couples in a unique and sacred way. This experience is much more than a ritual: it is an encounter with the Andean worldview, where love is blessed in harmony with Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the Apus (guardian spirits of the mountains).
- Upon arriving in Chinchero, the couple is welcomed by an Andean master (paqo), who opens the space with a special greeting and explains the meaning of the ceremony. Everything begins with an energetic cleansing performed with incense smoke, flower petals, and coca leaves, a symbolic act to purify the soul and prepare the heart for commitment.
- At the center of the ritual, the Andean ceremonial table or offering is prepared, where seeds, colorful yarns, sweets, and natural elements are placed to represent abundance and gratitude. The paqo shares profound words about the balance between the masculine and the feminine, reminding us that true union is born from complementarity.
- The couple exchanges sacred symbols of their commitmentthese may be rings, woven textiles, seeds, or any element that represents their bondthus sealing a spiritual connection before the Andean community and nature. Finally, the offering is given to the earth as a gesture of gratitude, invoking protection, prosperity, and fertility for the new stage that begins. The sounds of traditional Andean instruments accompany the moment, creating an atmosphere full of energy and connection.
- The experience is completed with a photo session in traditional attire, where the couple immortalizes this special day with the Andean landscapes as the backdrop. Afterwards, a lunch in the Chinchero community allows them to share with local residents, taste authentic flavors, and feel the richness of living culture up close.
- Finally, the return to Cusco closes this experience that leaves a deep mark: not only in the memory of the couple, but also in their spirit, having celebrated their union in a space where ancestral tradition and love intertwine forever.
- Meals: Lunch in the Community.
