The Hotel Hanging from the Mountain above Cuzco: impossible to sleep a wink
At the Skylodge Adventure Suites you sleep in a kind of completely transparent capsule that hangs over the void, 400 meters above sea level.
This hotel may be the most radical dream we have ever had. Or also an unforgettable nightmare. It depends on each one's ability to cope with vertigo and uncertainty. In the Skylodge Adventure Suites (whoever can fall asleep) sleeps in a kind of completely transparent capsule that hangs over the void, 400 meters high. Around, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in Cuzco (Peru).
Many people believe that there is a trick. That the photos of this incredible hanging hotel in Cuzco are a fake. But not. Skylodge Adventure Suites offers a lodging to pure adrenaline. Its three modules are suspended at a height of 400 meters, and its transparent walls allow you to enjoy the landscape of the well-known "Valley of the Incas".
How is the incredible hanging hotel of Cuzco
To get to Skylodge, you have to exercise and overcome vertigo. There are two possible routes, the first suitable from 9 years old, and the second from 6 years old. The Via Ferrata -the most difficult- requires climbing 300 meters using metal stairs and then descending 100 meters of rappel.
A mountain stairway up to 350 meters. In my opinion, unless you suffer from high altitude vertigo, it is easy to do and very exciting. The lifeline ensures you throughout the journey. Passing the suspension "bridge" is the best! Sometimes it is vertical wall and the higher you go, the more incredible views. The descent is through six zip lines. The longest (700 meters) is huge and some of the shorter ones are even faster. The Sky Lodge is very curious to see.
Whoever stays to sleep, once inside the module, can remove the harness, since the only way out is through the exit hatch located at the top of the module.
There are six windows and four ventilation zones in the module which ensures a proper atmosphere. The lighting in each module is ecological, thanks to photovoltaic panels that allow energy to be stored in batteries to power four lamps inside the module.
