Gizmag: Skylodge Adventure Suites – for travelers who want to hang out in Peru

If you’re in need of a good case of vertigo, just Google the term «rock climbing bivy.» Essentially, it’s a narrow cot that a mountain climber fastens to a cliff face, where they proceed to precariously spend the night dangling above oblivion. Although you might not want to push things quite that far, you can now get the same sort of thrill – but in a safer, more comfortable fashion – by staying in one of Natura Vive’s three Skylodge Adventure Suites.

The Guardian: sleep amid the Andes, Sacred Valley, Peru

Sometimes it’s not enough to just appreciate the view. To fully experience the beauty, you want to live, breathe and sleep in it. Which is why tour company Natura Vive put three transparent pods 400m up in the Peruvian Andes. The pods overlook the Sacred Valley of the Incas, near Cusco, and to reach them guests have to hike a challenging trail with the help of ziplines. Once in situ, the rewards (besides the views) are four beds, a dining area and bathroom. Yours for £210 a night.

UK Dailymail: The most terrifying hotel in the world?

The most terrifying hotel in the world? Welcome to the Skylodge – three transparent pods clinging to the side of a 400ft cliff in Peru (and you have to scale a sheer rock face to reach them)

The Natura Vive Skylodge is made up of three clear capsules hanging from a cliff in Peru’s Sacred Valley. Fearless travellers can spend the night dangling precariously, 400-feet over the heartland of the Inca Empire. To get there, you must first climb a cliff face, and in the morning, a zip wire takes you back down again
