This Glass Suite on a Peruvian Mountainside Is the Ultimate Room With a View
The vertiginous SkyLodge Adventure Suites at Natura Vive gives guests impressive and unique views of Peru’s sacred Incan valley. The valley was once an important location for the Incas to grow Maize. Today it’s full of archaeological and natural wonders.

The suites, which are each capable of sleeping up to eight people, offers guests a chance to experience the mystical valley at night when no one else is around. However just because guests are sleeping in a remote location does not mean they need to give up creature comforts. The suites all include a bathroom, dining area and “fine quality mattresses.”
But to even access the lodge is a bit of an adventure. Visitors must either take a zipline or climb a 1,300-foot hike, which involves crossing a hanging bridge that’s suspended 600 feet above the ground. Guests are encouraged to travel light as their luggage must go with them on the hike or zipline.

Stays in the suites start at about $415 (1385 nuevo sol) per night. All packages include breakfast, dinner (with wine!) and transportation to and from Cuzco.
