Organizing a wedding is similar to organizing a trip-of-a-lifetime.  It's special.  It's unique.  And each traveler/bride/groom has a vision of what their special trip/event should look like.  It should have a flow and a character all it's own.  It's possible for the bride & groom to separate from the group after the wedding and continue their trip as honeymooners. 

Machu Picchu Wedding FAQ

• Can we have our wedding ceremony inside the Machu Picchu National Park? 
  It's not permitted to have ceremonies inside the park.  One of the best things about the Machu Picchu National Park is that they don't allow vendors or development anywhere near the ruins.  That's why they look so authentic.  They are!  But it is permitted to bring your wedding party inside the park.   We recommend that the ceremony take place in the Sacred Valley the day before you visit the ruins.
• Can we get married by a local shaman?
  There are many special outside places to stage a wedding ceremony.  In the Sacred Valley, we can hire a local shaman to officiate at your wedding.  It can be as elaborate or as simple as you choose.
• What if we want to get married by a Catholic priest?
  In Peru, Catholicism is embraced by many.  It is not a problem to be married by a Catholic priest

  The cost of a 7-day traditional tour to Machu Picchu based on 3* accommodations is $1290 USD pp.  Extras can include:  grooms dinner, flowers at the ceremony, live musicians at the ceremony, priest/shaman service, catered hot picnic at the ceremony, photographer, upgraded hotels and other special requests.  The extra costs will vary depending on the # of people in your group.  (Flights/meals/tips/insurance not included)
