Mountains surrounding the garden, the sound of the river, an intensely blue sky and a ceremony that honors the earth. Getting married in the Sacred Valley of the Incas means choosing a setting that needs no decoration to be unforgettable.
If you are thinking of celebrating your wedding in Cusco, here are the essentials to start planning.
Why the Sacred Valley
The valley combines spectacular landscapes with a milder climate than Cusco, thanks to its lower altitude. It is ideal for outdoor celebrations and for guests arriving from other cities or countries, who often use the wedding as a chance to visit Machu Picchu and the region.
The Andean ceremony
More and more couples choose an Andean ceremony, symbolic and full of meaning. An Andean priest leads a ritual of gratitude to the Pachamama and the apus, the protective mountains, with coca leaves, flowers and elements of the earth.
It is a way to begin life together asking for harmony and abundance, following Andean tradition. It can be held on its own or alongside a religious or civil ceremony.
The best season to get married
The dry season, from May to October, offers sunny days and little chance of rain, although the nights are cold. In the rainy months the valley is greener, but it is wise to have tents or covered spaces as a plan B.
Tips for your guests
- Suggest they arrive one or two days early to acclimatize.
- Recommend layers: the daytime sun contrasts with the cold night.
- Arrange transport from Cusco, just over an hour away.
- Share accommodation options in the valley so no one drives at night.
- If they come from afar, put together a list of activities for the days before.
