Our Wedding

Dear friends and family. Saturday 16 may 2026 we celebrate the love that we found almost 5 years ago in the heights of the Andes mountains. One a half years of long-distance, a year in a tiny studio in Paris and now a new chapter that awaits us in Belgium brings us to this moment where we celebrate our unconditional love to each other.

Arequipa

Stay 2-3 days

In the shadow of the mysterious volcano 'El Misti' (5.822m) lays Peru's second biggest city. Often called "la ciudad blanca" (earned from its colonial architecture in white volcanic stone), Arequipa is the perfect place to experience Peru's Andean culture and cuisine .

Where to stay in Arequipa?

Beautiful and affordable boutique hotel in colonial architecture in the city center right next to the monastery. Calle Melgar 108 Cercado, Areq 01

What do eat in Arequipa?

The perfect place to try alpaca meat. The restaurant's philosophy is to cook Alpine specialties in perfect harmony with the flavors and aromas of products from Peru’s coast, highlands, and jungle.&nbsp; C. Zela 210, Cercado De Arequipa 04001

Also worth a try:Eco Brunch: lovely place with volcano view13 Monjas: Amazing food in colonial architectureMi Kcao: coffee and chocolate sweets with a view

What to do in Arequipa?

A main city square doesn't get much better than the one in Arequipa. From traditional dances, concerts or markets; there is always something to see or do. The majestic views of the Basilica Cathedral and the volcano 'Misti' make the experience truly unique.

Incredibly photogenic monastery and colonial architectural masterpiece in the heart of Arequipa.

Cusco and the Sacred Valley

Stay 5-8 days

What the air in Cusco lacks in oxygen (altitude 3400m!) it makes up for in pure magic. What once was a dried up lake between the Andes mountain became the capital of the Inca Empire. And when the Spanish came, they literally rebuilt the city on the foundations of their ruins. Needless to say, this city is special, and it is no wonder that Luisa and Sander first fell in love in this very place. A visit to Cusco is not complete without from exploring the sacred valley and witnessing one of the new 7 wonders of the world: Machu Picchu.

Where to stay in Cusco and the Sacred Valley?

Gorgeous hotel in authentic colonial architecture. Pictures don't do justice how beautiful this place really is. The restaurant of the hotel 'Piedra &amp; Sal' is also one of the best in Cusco. Carmen Bajo 243

Small and cozy hotel tucked away in a quiet alley right in the city center. Delicious breakfast and not too pricey. Santa Catalina Ancha 366-D-1, Cusco City Centre

What to eat in Cusco and the Sacred valley?

The first restaurant you should go to when arriving in Cusco. Wonderful food and drinks, friendliest service and a view over the Plaza des Armas to die for. Make sure to make a reservation. They are often fully booked. Esquina con, plaza de armas, Procuradores 320

Don't skip the dessert. the "Fondant" filled with lucuma will blow you away! Calle Plateros 309 Esquina de la plaza de armas

Other places to stay in Cusco and the Sacred Valley:Casa Alba Ollantaytambo: beautiful house up to 8 people in Ollantaytambo (train to Machu Picchu)The Glass House Calca: Magically romantic tiny house for two in the Sacred Valley

What to do in Cusco and the Sacred Valley?

A structure so incredible that Spanish conquistadores believed it was created by extraterrestrial life rather than the Inca's. To this day, there is still a mysterious aura surrounding this gigantic stone formation as nobody quite understands the original purpose of its existence.

One of the seven modern wonders of the world. The n°1 destination in Peru and not easy to reach, but so so worth it. This place is the perfect harmony between nature and man made structures. It's almost a spiritual experience walking through the ruins. One can only really understand it by physically being there.A visit to Machu Picchu has to be planned well in advance. Entrance tickets are usually sold out 1-2 months in advance. The world wonder is very remote and can only be reached by train (or by foot if you have 4 days). We recommend staying in or close to Ollantaytambo, a small city in the Sacred Valley where the train to Machu Picchu departs.
