Spirit Of Ayni Couples Ceremony in the Sacred Valley

By holding your ceremony at Niños del Arco Iris Foundation, you engage in the spirit of ayni, the Andean principle that balances giving and receiving, and in return, you receive protection and blessing.

Your celebration directly supports a non-profit school that provides education, nourishment, healthcare, and opportunities to vulnerable children in the Sacred Valley. In return, you receive the blessing of this land, its community, and the spiritual guardians that protect it.

​

The blessing takes place within the foundation’s private gardens, a peaceful oasis framed by ancient trees, vibrant greenery, and the gentle mountain breeze. Beyond the garden walls, the valley opens toward Las Chullpas, ancient pre-Incan funerary ruins built into the cliffs overlooking Urubamba. These stone structures watch quietly from above, adding a sense of history, reverence, and timeless presence to the atmosphere of the ceremony.

​

After the garden blessing, the experience transitions into a powerful ancestral sound healing session inside La Cúpula, a circular dome space hand-painted by Dutch artist Gam Klutier.

The acoustics are extraordinary, amplifying the vibration of traditional Andean instruments to create an immersive soundscape that is grounding, transcendent, and unlike anything else in the region. Wrapped in blankets and Andean textiles, couples are invited to relax, integrate, and receive the energetic resonance of the ceremony in a deeply intimate way.

​

This celebration is private, authentic, and culturally respectful, offering a meaningful alternative to conventional weddings and elopements in Peru. It honors Andean cosmology, Pachamama, and community while giving couples a beautiful way to renew their marriage vows, renew their union, or begin their journey together. It blends ritual, nature, and reciprocity into a once-in-a-lifetime experience.​
