Not for the Faint of Heart….The Skylodge in Peru

Located in the Sacred Valley of Cuzco, Peru, the one-of-a-kind Skylodge Adventure Suites and offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to sleep in a completely transparent, hanging bedroom capsule over 1,000 feet above the valley floor. To reach the Skylodge you must climb up the face of the cliff using fixed steel ladders and cables (called 'Via Ferrata') or hike a trail along the various zip lines. You can rest a few days in Cusco to acclimate yourself.

The way down has 7 different zip lines ranging from 150 m (493 ft) to 700 m (2,297 ft) and totaling up to 2,800 m (9,187 ft) in distance. You will first start with a 30-minute hike via Ferrata to the first line. Each zip line is different, starting with an easy and short one and getting progressively longer as you descend (and gain confidence in your ziplining abilities!)

The Skylodge is composed of three exclusive capsule Suites with a total capacity of 8 people. These vertically hanging transparent capsule suites are situated at the top of the mountain and offer 300 degree views of the Sacred Valley. Hand crafted out of aerospace aluminum and weather resistant polycarbonate, each suite comes complete with four beds, a dining area and a private bathroom. Measuring 24 feet in length and 8 feet in height and width, the capsule suites are composed of six windows and four ventilation ducts that ensure a comfortable atmosphere. Solar power provides light in the suites, although keep in mind there are no power outlets. Each suite has a private bathroom separated from the bedroom by an insulated wall. Inside is a dry ecological toilet and sink. Fine quality mattresses, cotton sheets, down pillows, and quilts ensure a warm and pleasant night 1,312 feet from the ground. Believe it or not includes breakfast & gourmet dinner with wine, (not sure how they do this?) and professional bilingual guides.
