This is perhaps the most unique hotel we’ve ever come across and one that won’t be for everyone. Hanging from the side of a cliff in Peru’s beautiful Sacred Valley are several clear Perspex capsules called the Skylodge Adventure Suites. To access the pods, visitors must first climb up vertically up almost half a kilometre on iron rungs. Once your reach your home, settle in to what is a surprisingly comfortable space. Your guide will bring you a delicious dinner with wine, and you can look out over the views and starry sky. The following morning you return back to earth on zip line.

Perched high above the Sacred Valley of Cuzco in Peru, you will find the Skylodge, a totally transparent capsule suspended nearly 400m above the valley floor. Getting to your bed is an adventure in itself. Climb the 400m via ferrata to the sleeping capsule which has its own private bathroom and dining room. You’ll be served a gourmet dinner on the side of the mountain (as well as breakfast the next day) before ziplining back down the mountain.

On an Andean cliff overlooking Sacred Valley, there are three ovular glass pods dangling from the rock face. They’re not art, nor are they UFOs. They’re hotel rooms.

The «Skylodge» is owned by a tourism company called Natura Vive, and these three suites comprise the entire luxury hotel. The three pods are the size of a tiny airplane cabin, and are transparent on all sides. They’re mostly bedroom and bathroom, with the first taken up entirely by a down bed and the second equipped with curtains for privacy.

There’s not much to do in the pods, but then again, you’re not coming for comfort. Just to get there you have to hike up 1,200 feet of Via Ferrara or zipline in (for extra cost). Once there though, you’ll have a bird’s eye view of the valley below, the surrounding Andes, and condors circling in the open skies above.
