Things To Do
Machu Picchu
This 15th-century Inca citadel, now one of the new 7 wonders of the world, is most definitely a must do! Prepare to be amazed! We are working with a travel agency to help book a day trip to Machu Picchu on Thursday September 1st. If interested, please contact the agency directly and tell them you are visiting for our wedding! See travel agency information on "Travel" tab
Cusco City
The historical capital of Peru! Sitting in the Peruvian Andes mountains, it once was the capital of the Incan empire until the 16th-century Spanish conquest. Cusco city is about 1 hour drive from the wedding venue, this is were the airport is. If you have the time, you should enjoy a couple nights in this gorgeous city! It is hard to describe the magic feel and energy this city transmits! There are city tours and plenty to do here (Cathedrals, Qorikancha, Sacsayhuaman, etc)
Maras
Since pre-Inca times, salt has been obtained in Maras by evaporating salty water from a local subterranean stream.
Moray
Moray was an Inca agricultural research center where crop experiments were carried out at different heights and microclimates.
Ollantaytambo
The Ollantaytambo ruins are one of the last strongholds of the Incas.
Vinicunca (Rainbow) Mountain
This rainbow-like appearance is created by the sediment of minerals throughout the area giving the mountain the turquoise, lavendar, gold and other colors. It was only recently discovered due to the snow melting revealing the hidden gem that’s still considered holy by many until this day.
Skylodge Adventure Suites
For the truly adventurous - to get here, you need to climb 400m of Via Ferrata or hike through ziplines. At the top, you sleep in a transparent capsule suspended from the rocks with incredible views of the valley.
