A luxury suite. A Skylodge.

A luxury suite. A Skylodge.

The exclusive Skylodge Adventure Suites are transparent luxury capsules that hang from the top of a mountain, located in the Sacred Valley of a country, that was once home of ancient Inca civilization.
Structure
Each pod is hand crafted from aerospace aluminum and weather-resistant polycarbonate. Measuring 24 ft. (7,3 m) in length and 8 ft. (2,4 m) in height and width, the capsule suites are composed of six windows and four ventilation ducts that ensure a comfortable atmosphere. The alternative lighting system consists of four interior lamps and a reading light all powered by solar panels that store energy in batteries.

Features
Despite their small size, the pods don't seem cramped on the inside. Each pod offers a bedroom, a private bathroom, and dining area. The design and features of each suite provides its visitors a first class service and complete comfort. Fine quality mattresses, cotton sheets, down pillows, and quilts ensure a warm and pleasant night 400 ft. from the ground.

Location and access
To get to one of the three capsules that hang from the cliff face you really have to work for it. Vertically hanging transparent capsule suites are situated at the top of 400 ft. mountain with a 300 degree view of the majestic Sacred Valley. Potential guests must climb up there or hike difficult trails using ziplines. Safety of the capsules is insured by having the exit portal located in the upper part of the craft.
