Would you brave the experience of sleeping in a glass pod hanging from a Peruvian cliff?

Would you dare to sleep in a transparent capsule suspended high on the edge of a Peruvian mountain?

This is the concept behind the incredible Skylodge Adventure Suites, a collection of glass pods precariously perched on a cliffside in Peru's Sacred Valley.

For those bold enough to stay, these crystal-clear pods are reachable only after a 400-meter (1,300-foot) rock climb or a thrilling hike with a zip-line course.

Once night falls, you'll enjoy stunning panoramic views of the wild valley below and, if you’re lucky, a breathtaking view of the Milky Way.

A one-of-a-kind adventure

The vision behind these dramatic lodges was to provide 'a one-of-a-kind experience that reconnects guests with nature or shows them what true luxury really is,' says Natalia Rodriguez, the manager of Skylodge, in an interview with Dinogo Travel.

The suites were designed by the adventure company Natura Vive, aiming to encourage guests to embrace their inner adventurer. Once you’ve finished your stay, you can zip-line down to the valley below.

Inside these 24-foot by 8-foot pods, guests are treated to awe-inspiring views, complete with four beds, a dining area, and a private bathroom.

The beds feature down pillows and quilts, ensuring a restful night – unless the stars above tempt you into stargazing.

Rodriguez explains that the biggest challenges in building these extraordinary structures were 'getting everything up there' and 'designing them to withstand high winds.'

Rest assured, the pods are made from aerospace-grade aluminum and weatherproof polycarbonate, ensuring both safety and security for guests, according to Natura Vive.

An extraordinary getaway

Peru’s Sacred Valley, renowned for its natural beauty, lush landscapes, and ancient ruins, is flanked by two UNESCO World Heritage sites: the historic city of Cusco and the 15th-century Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.

The SkyLodges are perfectly situated, giving guests a chance to enjoy stunning aerial views of the Sacred Valley before heading down to explore the iconic Machu Picchu.
