Magical Moments in Machu Picchu
Melissa and Jose
Imagine celebrating your love story in one of the most magical places in the world. This was the experience of Jose our friend from Costa Rica, who chose Machu Picchu as the setting to propose to his partner Melissa, surrounded by the imposing Andean mountains and the mystical energy of the Inca citadel (Machu Picchu).
Early in the morning, the couple began their long journey to Machu Picchu, enjoying every corner and the breathtaking scenery that surrounded them. Once in Machu Picchu and upon reaching one of the most spectacular viewpoints, the moment occurred: a “Will you marry me?” that will be recorded forever.
Luis and Andrea
Andrea and Luis, a couple from Lima, decided to live an unforgettable adventure in Machu Picchu. What Andrea didn't know was that this trip would have a surprise that would change their lives forever.
They both took the Machu Picchu Full Day tour from Cusco. From the moment they boarded the bus to Ollantaytambo and took the train to Aguas Calientes, the excitement was palpable. The trip, the scenery, the history, everything seemed magical.
When they arrived at the Inca citadel and started the guided tour, Luis had everything planned. He waited for the perfect moment and with Machu Picchu in the background, he knelt down and pulled out the ring.
The tourists applauded, some even got excited. The guide, who already knew what was coming, helped capture the moment with incredible photographs.
