Skylodge Adventure Suites in the Sacred Valley of Cusco

Accessible only by climbing, hiking, or zip-lining, each transparent capsule suite vertically hangs at the top of a 1200-foot (366-meter) mountain.

Starry night in the Sacred Valley of Cusco, Peru

The capsules offer a broad, 300-degree view of the stunning Sacred Valley landscape.

Climbing to the hanging capsules of Skylodge Adventure Suites

Each capsule suite houses four beds, a dining room, solar-powered lighting, and, yes, bathroom facilities!

Yoga on the top of Skylodge Adventure Suites

If you still miss a bit of adrenaline after climbing all the way up, you can strike some yoga poses on the platform leading to your sky-high cabin.

Skylodge Adventure Suites

The entrance to the Skylodge capsules is from a window on its top.

The sky pod's interior consists of a twin and double mattress.

Skylodge Adventure Suites bedroom with panoramic mountain views

It's not the most spacious "bedroom" you have ever tried, but the breathtaking views will make up for it.

Especially if you manage to catch the sunset.

You are also provided with breakfast and dinner, complete with wine, because, as you can imagine, dining options are relatively sparse on the edge of a cliff!

People dining at the Skylodge Adventure Suites

This food is made fresh and brought up to guests by a seasoned climber!

Sacred Valley climbing

Whether you’re an avid climber or have no knowledge of traversing mountains at all, you can live on the edge by staying a night at the Skylodge.

Sacred Valley zip-lining

And if sleeping high up on a cliffside is not thrilling enough, how about adrenaline-pumping zip-lining?
