Peru is the perfect wedding destination as it’s home to breathtaking mountains, a spectacular desert with ocean landscapes, and striking forests and jungles.
I got married during the pandemic in an intimate wedding in the U.S. Fabian, my now husband, and I were surrounded by a handful of family and friends and dozens more via Zoom. While we felt overwhelmed with the love that poured upon us, and were beyond happy with the beautifully small ceremony, I can’t help but dream of having another ceremony in my dear Peru, surrounded by its natural beauty and my family.
Peru is the ideal wedding destination. There is a perfect location for any and all tastes: Whether you want a remote ceremony surrounded by forests, or in the heart of the city inside a colonial church, or in the middle of nowhere in Peru’s Ica desert. And, what’s even better: You’re already in the ideal country to travel across for your honeymoon.

Mancora: Not just another beach wedding
There’s something special about Peru’s northern beaches. Not only are they beautiful but the fact that it’s summer year round in northern Peru gives you more flexibility when scheduling your big date.

Cajamarca
Do not overlook Cajamarca, a not-so-small highland town with big charm, for your big day. Have your ceremony deep inside its forest or perhaps at one of the city’s colonial churches.
Tarapoto
You couldn’t ask for a more colorful backdrop for your wedding than the tropical flora that adorns the landscape of Tarapoto.
