About the Host

In 2015, Christina went out on a quest to explore the Chilean Andes on horseback. While she traveled over two months through the wilderness, she totally fell in love with the rough beauty of the Chilean Andes. One particular night, she took a bath in a natural hot spring near the volcano Chillan. While she looked up into the clear starlit sky, feeling incredibly blessed, a thought entered her mind, “I would love to get married here!” Her own wedding not being in any near sight, she still wanted to provide other adventurous couples with the opportunity to enjoy the magic of the Chilean Andes. That’s why she creates unique Adventure Wedding experiences in Chile – combining wilderness experiences with unique wedding ceremonies and photography/videography.

Your Hiking Adventure Wedding in Chile - Itinerary

Day 1. Ascent & sunset adventure wedding ceremony

For your hiking adventure wedding in Chile we meet early in the morning at the trailhead near the “Hotel Termas Chillán”. Prepare for a steep ascent to your wedding site over 2,600 meters above sea level. In the early afternoon we will reach your campsite in a beautiful valley nestled right next to the volcano Chillan. There will be: no electricity. No Wi-Fi. No luxury accommodations, but you can wash the dust away in a natural hot spring and enjoy a picnic lunch. After a short siesta it is time to put your wedding attire on and get ready for your sunset adventure wedding ceremony. For your vow exchange you can choose the scenic view over the valley just next to the natural hot spring or trek up to a sandy mountain plateau for a spectacular photo backdrop and an absolute unique experience. After tying the knot you can relax over an intimate picnic dinner. If you like you can spend some quality time with each other at the natural hot spring admiring the star dusted sky before heading to bed at the “1000 star hotel”.

Day 2. Morning excursion and descent

Greet the new day with a sunrise morning excursion and/or wedding portrait session. Explore and experience desert mountains, sandy peaks, awesome panoramic views or decide for a lazy morning in bed and another visit to the amazing spa provided by mother nature. After a picnic lunch we will start the descent back to the valley where it is time to say goodbye in the early evening. The memories of your unquie hiking adventure wedding in Chile will always stay with you.
