Andean Inca Wedding 6 Days Basic

Discover the Sacred Inca Wedding Experience in Cusco

Imagine celebrating a love promise with the ancient wisdom of the Inca in the heart of the Andes. The Andean Inca Wedding 6 Days Basic offers a rare chance to participate in a deeply spiritual and cultural ceremony that’s rooted in centuries-old traditions. For around $2,015 per person, you’ll spend six days exploring Cusco’s sacred sites, engaging in ancient rituals, and witnessing a wedding ceremony that’s more than just a promise — it’s a sacred vow to Pachamama (Mother Earth) and the universe.

What we love about this experience is the authenticity of the rituals — from coca leaf readings to flower baths, each step is designed to purify and bless the couple in a way that feels very genuine. The small group size, limited to just 15 participants, ensures an intimate and personal atmosphere. Another highlight is the guidance of knowledgeable shamans and priests, who will lead the couple through ceremonies that blend spiritual symbolism with ancestral wisdom.

A potential consideration is that this experience is quite private and spiritual; it’s not a typical festive wedding with dancing and socializing. If you’re looking for a lively celebration or a large event, this might feel understated. However, for those seeking meaningful, sacred commitment rituals rooted in Andean culture, this tour offers unmatched depth. It’s perfect for couples wanting a spiritual bond or travelers interested in learning about Inca traditions beyond the usual tourist spots.

This tour suits those who are spiritually inclined, culturally curious, or simply wanting a unique, meaningful experience during their time in Cusco. If you’re open to ancient rituals and appreciate the quiet reverence of sacred ceremonies, you’ll find this an unforgettable journey into Inca wisdom.

A Full Breakdown of the 6-Day Sacred Wedding Journey

Day 1: Arrival and Preparation

Your journey begins in Cusco, where you’ll meet your small group and guides. This initial day is about settling in and preparing mentally, physically, and spiritually for the sacred days ahead. We loved the way the guides emphasized respect for the traditions right from the start, setting a tone of reverence and sincerity. You might find this day is also when some preliminary rituals or ceremonies help clear negative energies and align your intentions.

Day 2-3: Rituals and Spiritual Cleansing

The core of this experience is a series of ancient rituals designed to prepare the couple (or participants) for the sacred union. These include cleansing of negative energies, flower baths, and offerings to Pachamama. The ceremonies are carried out with respect and discretion by Andean shamans and priests. According to reviews, many find these rituals deeply moving and spiritually uplifting. One traveler noted, “The coca leaf reading was surprisingly insightful — it felt like the universe was speaking directly to us.”

During these days, you may also participate in traditional Andean ceremonies involving master plants like Wachuma or Ayahuasca, which are used to promote clarity, purification, and spiritual awakening. These preparations help deepen the experience and foster genuine connection.

Day 4-5: The Wedding Ceremony Itself

The wedding is an unbreakable spiritual pact that involves several layers of ancient practices. It’s conducted in total discretion, with only the couple, their godparents (who will be lifelong counselors), the shamans, musicians, and a small group of witnesses present. The ceremony is a blend of rituals, prayers, and offerings—from coca leaves to symbolically uniting the sun and moon (man and woman).

Participants have shared that the wedding is profoundly sincere — “It’s not about signing papers but about a true commitment blessed by the spirits,” one reviewer commented. The couple makes an eternal vow to Pachamama and the universe, promising fidelity and mutual care. If broken, the energetic forces and Pachamama herself are believed to administer consequences, including misfortune or illness.

Day 6: Reflection and Integration

On the final day, there’s time for reflection, continued rituals, or a simple celebration of the new spiritual bond. You may also enjoy traditional Andean music and a chance to connect with the natural surroundings of Cusco. Many find this day helps integrate the spiritual insights gained during the ceremony.

What’s Included and What’s Not?

The tour includes coca leaf readings, offerings to Pachamama, energy cleansing, flower baths, and ancestral rituals, all led by experienced shamans and priests. Most of the essential spiritual components are covered, making the experience feel well-rounded. However, you’ll need to bring your own wedding attire or choose to wear traditional Inca clothing, which can be arranged upon request. Wedding rings are not included, so if you wish to exchange rings, bring your own.

The Value of the Experience

At just over $2,000, this tour offers a deep dive into Inca customs and spiritual practices that are rarely accessible to outsiders. The small group format ensures personalized attention, and the inclusion of rituals like flower baths and master plant ceremonies makes it a compelling value for those interested in authentic cultural experiences. It’s not a typical wedding; it’s a sacred vow rooted in centuries of tradition, offering a truly unique way to celebrate love.

Practical Tips

• Dress comfortably; traditional attire can be arranged if desired.
• Be prepared for a spiritual journey that may include energetic cleansing or plant medicines.
• Book well in advance due to limited group sizes and the complexity of rituals.
• Respect the customs and follow guides’ instructions to honor the traditions.
• Remember, this experience is about sincerity and spiritual connection, so approach with an open heart.

Who Will Benefit Most?

This tour is best suited for couples seeking a meaningful, spiritual marriage rooted in ancient Andean traditions. If you’re curious about Indigenous rituals, valuing authentic cultural exchanges, or wanting a very personal and sacred commitment experience, you’ll find this deeply rewarding. It’s also perfect for travelers who appreciate learning about Inca customs beyond the usual tourist landmarks and who want to involve themselves in ceremonies that honor Mother Earth and ancestral spirits.

If, however, your idea of a wedding involves a lively party or large celebration, this might feel too subdued. It’s about the spiritual connection rather than festive fanfare. Also, expect a more contemplative, reverent atmosphere—not a typical wedding ceremony.
