About the Host of your Horse Riding Wedding in Chile

Hi,
I am Christina. In 2015 I went out on a quest to explore the Chilean Andes on horseback. While I traveled over two months through the wilderness, I totally fell in love with the rough beauty of the Chilean Andes. One particular night, I took a bath in a natural hot spring near the volcano Chillan. While I looked up into the clear starlit sky – feeling incredibly blessed – a thought entered her mind, “That would be an amazing place to get married!” As I work as a full-time elopement and adventure wedding photographer, I want to provide adventurous couples with the opportunity to enjoy the magic of the lesser known places in the Andes that I discovered. If you are as horse-crazy as I am and love wild places, this unique Horse Riding Wedding in Chile is just for you – combining wilderness glamping with an unforgettable wedding on horse-back.

Itinerary of your Horse Riding Wedding in Chile

Day 1. Arrival

We will pick you up at the Chillan bus station or a hotel of your choice in the afternoon and bring you to your accommodation in a cozy cottage. If you arrive early in the afternoon you can already get to know your four legged companions for the upcoming trip. This is it — brace yourself for a horse riding wedding adventure of a lifetime!

Day 2. Ascent & sunset adventure wedding ceremony

After an early breakfast prepare to get dusty and take on the steep ascent to your horse trekking 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 ride/trek up to a sandy mountain plateau for a spectacular photo backdrop and an absolute unique experience. After tying the knot a beautiful romantic picnic dinner will be waiting for you. 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 3. Morning excursion and descent

Greet the new day with a sunrise morning horse ride and 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 to your four legged companions. We will bring you back into Chillan to a hotel of your choice or the bus station. You can also decide for an additional night in our cozy cottage to have more time to explore the area the next day.
