Peru has emerged as a top travel destination globally in recent times, despite its developing infrastructure, and the recent global health crisis that left the country paralyzed. Nevertheless, Peru has bounced back and managed to retain its international visitor count stable and it hopes it can recover levels before the pandemic.
Coming back to our subject, people who are looking for something unusual often relate Machu Picchu citadel with the attraction of the Andes mountains (also known as the “Apus”), the spirituality and charm of the Amazon Rainforest, or even the diversity of traditions and delicious food. Here are some of the reasons Peru is a fantastic choice for your vacation wedding.
The Andean wedding
Firstly, what exactly is an Andean wedding? Let’s begin by referring to this as a sort of symbolic ancestral rite that is open to all those who are interested and has no legal significance.
This ceremony can be performed anywhere, and it is not restricted to any particular belief system.
How does it work? The Andean wedding, also known as “Arac Masin” in Quechua, is a traditional Peruvian marriage ceremony that dates back generations, carrying on the Inca legacy. The ceremony can be tailored to the preferences of the wedding planners; nevertheless, certain essentials should not be overlooked, such as candles, plants, and stones. The location of the celebration should also be blessed by an Andean priest before the big day.
The man in charge should arrange certain rites before the holy covenant since it involves commitments to the God Sun (Inti), the God Moon (Killa), the Mountains (Apus), and the Earth Mother (Pachamama). These rituals focus on the couple’s connection with the Inca Gods, the natural world, and themselves. Ayahuasca consumption (optional), gift-giving, reading leaves, clearing the aura, etc.
