Skylodge Adventure Suites suspends guests 365 meters above Peru's Sacred Valley in transparent capsules accessible only by via ferrata climbing. The facility sits near the village of Pachar, approximately 90 minutes from Cusco and just 10km from Ollantaytambo.
Reaching the pods requires a guided two-hour climb using ladders, wire traverses, iron rungs and cable traverses fixed into granite cliffs. Guests descend via six ziplines ranging from 150m to 700m. A one-night stay including transfers from Cusco, guiding, ascent and zipline descent costs 1,640 Peruvian soles (£350 or $480) per person. Half-day experiences with lunch are also available.
The sleeping capsules feature multiple windows offering valley views, though bathroom facilities are basic. Dining occurs in a transparent pod where guides prepare multi-course Peruvian meals. The dry season from April to October offers optimal stargazing conditions.
The same operator runs Starlodge Adventure Suites, positioned lower on the cliff and accessible via a short walk, with showers, flushing toilets and an outdoor hot tub for stargazing.
