In this ceremony, the couple not only unites with each other, but also connects with Pachamama, the Apus and the forces of the universe, receiving blessings to live in harmony, respect and love. From the Andean vision, the human being is part of a natural balance where everything is connected. For this reason, marriage is not considered solely a human commitment, but also a spiritual union with nature and the cosmos.
During the ritual, the couple is recognized as two complementary energies that balance each other, creating a new spiritual force that walks alongside nature and the universe.
This union symbolizes the Andean principle of complementarity, where the feminine and masculine unite to create harmony, life and continuity.
