Sleeping in these transparent 24-foot by 8-foot capsules suspended on the side of a 1,200-foot mountain 1,312 feet above the Sacred Valley is not for the faint of heart. Guests wishing to stay in one of Skylodge’s three suites must travel by zipline or climb up Via Ferrata, but the views and bragging rights are priceless.
We first found out about Skylodge Adventure Suites through YouTube. As passionate travelers, we tend to watch a lot of travel vlogs on that platform and there was one that stood out to us. It was about a couple who had an adventure at Skylodge. My husband, right there and then, decided that we needed to stay at this accommodation. It was added to our bucket list!
The start of the journey is climbing up 400 metres of Via Ferrata. You will be attached to safety wires the entire way. The climb took us an hour and 45 minutes, but it wasn’t difficult and there were guides with us.
Have you ever wanted to sleep in a condor’s nest? Here is the next best thing! Located in the Sacred Valley of Cuzco, Peru, the exclusive Skylodge Adventure Suites offers you the chance to sleep within a completely transparent hanging bedroom, that allows you to appreciate the impressive view of this magic and mystic valley.
Skylodge Adventure Suites (Cusco, Peru)
At Skylodge Adventure Suites, guests can sleep within a completely transparent hanging bedroom in the Sacred Valley of Cusco, Peru. Composed of three exclusive capsule suites with a total capacity of 12 people (complete with four beds, a dining area and a private bathroom), the suites are situated 1,200ft above sea level along the mountain range. Once arriving in Cusco, travelers are picked up by car, encompassing a one hr journey, to Pachar a small town 15-minutes from Ollantaytambo. Once arriving in Pachar, there are two ways to get to the Skylodge; either by climbing 1,200ft of Via Ferrata or by hiking a one-hour hike trail through ziplines.
Skylodge Adventures Suites es el único hotel colgante que existe en el mundo, ubicado en Cusco, Perú. En este hotel es posible dormir dentro de un refugio completamente transparente, con una impactante vista sobre el mágico Valle Sagrado de los Incas y sus noches adornadas por la vía láctea.
Las habitaciones se encuentran a 400 metros de altura sobre el espectacular valle y fueron fabricadas en aluminio aero-espacial y policarbonato de alta resistencia.
Los impresionantes habitáculos fueron diseñados por Ario Ferri, desarrollador de proyectos y ávido escalador peruano. Ario asegura que la idea de Skylodge surgió del sistema de tienda de campaña colgante que los alpinistas usan para pasar la noche. Construyó junto con su pareja Natalia Rodríguez, la experiencia para poder ofrecer a los viajeros sin habilidades escaladoras, la posibilidad de sentir lo que siente un alpinista al dormir en medio de una pared montañosa. Así crearon la empresa Natura Vive.
