Peru has many places to sleep.
But very few places can change how you feel about being alive.
In the Sacred Valley of the Incas — just one hour from Cusco — there is a destination where your hotel is not only a room… it’s part of the adventure. Here, you don’t just visit the Andes.
You climb them.
You fly across them.
And at night… you sleep suspended above them.
Welcome to one of the world’s most extraordinary travel experiences: a place where zipline, via ferrata climbing and luxury cliffside suites exist together in a single location.
A Hotel You Don’t Walk Into — You Earn
Most hotels give you a keycard.
This one gives you a harness.
Before reaching your suite, your journey begins with a professional guided ascent along a via ferrata — a protected climbing route built into the mountain rock using steel cables, ladders and anchors. No previous climbing experience is required. Certified guides assist you every step, and modern safety equipment keeps the climb secure and comfortable.
Why Travelers Love the Via Ferrata Experience
- Safe and beginner-friendly
- Guided by trained professionals
- Gradual altitude gain for acclimatization
- Incredible panoramic viewpoints along the ascent
- A true sense of accomplishment before check-in
The climb itself becomes part of the emotional memory of your trip. By the time you arrive at your suite, you already feel transformed.
You didn’t just check in — you arrived.
The Only Luxury Suites Hanging From a Mountain
At the top of the cliff, you discover what makes this place legendary.
Transparent panoramic capsules — luxury suites literally anchored to the rock wall — overlooking the Sacred Valley more than 300 meters (1,000 feet) above the ground.
These are not tents.
They are fully equipped adventure suites.
Inside the Cliffside Suites
Each capsule includes:
- Comfortable beds with premium bedding
- Private ecological bathroom
- Dining area
- Interior lighting
- 300° panoramic windows
- Nighttime stargazing views
- Gourmet dinner and breakfast included
You will watch the sunset paint the Andes in gold and violet tones. As darkness falls, the sky reveals something most travelers have forgotten exists: real stars.
With almost zero light pollution, the Milky Way becomes visible to the naked eye. Many guests say this night alone becomes the highlight of their entire Peru itinerary — even above Machu Picchu.
Flying Over the Sacred Valley: The Zipline Experience
The next morning, your descent is anything but ordinary.
Instead of hiking down, you fly.
The Sacred Valley zipline circuit allows you to glide across multiple cables suspended between mountains. Using a gravity-powered pulley system, you safely traverse the valley while surrounded by Andean peaks, farmland terraces and the Urubamba River below.
What Makes This Zipline Unique
- Multi-line circuit across the valley
- Professionally engineered braking system
- No manual stopping required
- Constant guide supervision
- Suitable for beginners
As you accelerate across the first line, something surprising happens — fear turns into laughter.
By the second line, you’re smiling.
By the final line, you don’t want it to end.
Safety: The Foundation of the Experience
Adventure means excitement, not risk.
All routes between lines are connected through a secure via ferrata system, and the cables are designed so participants naturally slow down near the platform. No active braking is necessary.
Professional Safety Standards
- Certified guides
- Regular training in vertical rope rescue
- First Aid certified staff
- High-quality climbing equipment
- Daily inspection of cables and anchors
Even travelers with no adventure sports background routinely complete the experience with confidence.
A Perfect Activity Duration for Your Peru Itinerary
The experience fits naturally into a Sacred Valley travel plan.
- 50-minute hike to the first climbing section
- 3 to 4 hours of ziplining and activities
- Transport time: ~1 hour from Cusco / ~30 minutes from Sacred Valley hotels
This makes it ideal between Cusco arrival and Machu Picchu departure — and in fact, many travelers report it helps with altitude acclimatization before visiting Machu Picchu.
What You Should Bring
Preparation is simple, and comfort makes a big difference.
Recommended Gear
- Light outdoor clothing
- Long pants (recommended over shorts)
- Closed shoes or light hiking boots
- Wind jacket (it gets cooler at altitude)
- Small backpack
- At least 1 liter of water
Eco-friendly travelers can bring a reusable bottle — purified water is provided at the base camp for refill.
Why Travelers Are Choosing Adventure Hotels Over Traditional Luxury
Modern luxury travelers — especially from Europe and Asia — are changing how they define comfort.
Today, exclusivity is not marble lobbies or champagne bars.
It is rarity and authentic emotion.
You can stay in a 5-star hotel anywhere in the world.
You can only sleep on a vertical mountain in one.
What This Experience Offers Beyond Accommodation
- Personal achievement
- Cultural immersion in the Andes
- Digital detox and mental reset
- Unique photography and memories
- A story worth telling forever
This is why the Sacred Valley’s adventure lodging is becoming one of Peru’s most requested pre-Machu Picchu experiences.
The Emotional Impact Guests Remember
Months after returning home, travelers rarely talk about the hotel room size or lobby design.
They remember:
The silence of the valley at sunrise.
The sound of wind across the cliffs.
The moment they stepped outside the capsule at night and saw the Milky Way above the Andes.
Adventure and luxury rarely meet — but when they do, they create something unforgettable.
And that is exactly what this place delivers.
Plan Your Sacred Valley Adventure
If you want more than sightseeing — if you want a story — this is the experience to add to your Peru itinerary.
The Sacred Valley is already magical.
But flying across it, climbing its cliffs and sleeping above it transforms a trip into a lifetime memory.
Reservations are limited due to the small number of suites, and many travelers book months in advance, especially during dry season (April–October).
Your Peru journey will include Machu Picchu.
But this…
This may be what you talk about first when you get home.
