Natura Vive Skylodge, Peru

The death-defying views at this peru hotel could be seen as either spectacular or terrifying; either way, there’s no escaping them.In the heart of the old Inca empire in Sacred Valley, three transparent pods cling for dear life to the side of a 121-metre cliff.These pods are hotel rooms, each measuring 7 x 2.5 metres and constructed from aerospace aluminum and weather-resistant polycarbonate, large enough to sleep eight people.Of course, the challenge is to get there first and this is no easy feat.Scaling the steep cliff would usually be an activity left to experienced rock climbers. However, the folks at Natura Vive Skylodge have built a via ferrata to get up and zip lines to get down.
