Spending the night 400 meters high is the best part of the adventure we propose below: you will be in one of the most spectacular places on the planet and very close to the iconic Machu Picchu. Skylodge Adventure Suites offers cabins to sleep near the sky in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, in Peru. And you shouldn’t miss it!
There are places that, by themselves, are a wonderful work of art of nature. However, the human hand has turned them into more than history. Visiting an enigmatic place, full of many years of experiences, studies, and discoveries, is like a sigh.
The ancient capital of Cusco and the Inca city founded in the 15th century, Machu Picchu, also declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, are magic in their purest state. And that type of “landscape” deserves to be seen in a different way.
Cabins to Sleep in the Sacred Valley of the Incas
The experience is promoted by Skylodge, which, after an idea to create something totally revolutionary, built cabins of glass and aerospace aluminum. This unique lodging is located 400 meters high and has a 300-degree view. It consists of three Suites with capacity for 8 people and among other amenities, they have double beds, independent bathrooms and common spaces to share with other visitors.
The price may not be affordable, since it is around 700 euros per night in total and includes dinner and breakfast. But if you think about it, sharing the expenses between eight people results in an individual payment of about 90 euros per night. Not bad at all.
Natura Vive offers different types of accommodation. There is, for example, a two-day package that includes accommodation for one night, dinner, breakfast, transportation to and from Cusco, and also a guide.
How to Get to the Cabins and Not Die Trying
This is the funniest part… or maybe it’s not. It depends on your personality. Are you one of those people who are afraid of heights? If your answer is yes, you may not like the journey very much and you may have to give up living this experience.
Why? According to what Natalia RodrÃguez, manager of SkyLodge, told Traveler.es, “there are levels and levels of vertigo, but it is clear that if you have a very high level and you are not able to climb two meters off the ground, it will be impossible for you to climb. It is the only restriction we have.”
To get to the cabins, you must cross a complicated and inclined path in which you will require the help of zip lines. Do you dare? Then welcome and enjoy one of the best views of the Milky Way that you will have in your life! By the way, toast to that with a Pisco.
