Are you an adventurer looking for an experience that is both luxurious and exhilarating? Look no further than Skylodge! With a maximum capacity of 12 people, each of the three capsules boasts four sleeping spaces - one double bed and two single beds.

Due to its popularity, globetrotters from all corners of the world secure their spots in Skylodge up to six months in advance, especially if they plan to travel during the peak season from May to September.

These capsules are crafted from aerospace-grade aluminum and temperature-resistant polycarbonate, which make them marvels of engineering. In addition to the three sleeping compartments, there is a communal dining capsule where lodge staff whip up delicious meals using provisions carried up by guides in their backpacks. It's a unique culinary adventure that complements the lofty experience perfectly.

Staying in Skylodge is an experience like no other, and it's no wonder why it has gained global acclaim.

Ario Ferri personally sketched the designs for the capsules in his workshop in Urubamba, and once the components were ready, skilled mountaineer guides spent two months hauling them to the summit. At the summit, the guides meticulously assembled and welded the individual parts into the fully formed capsules. Engineers validated the safety of these structures, ensuring that they provide a safe and secure environment for guests. At Skylodge, safety is a top priority, and the lodge staff consistently conducts inspections to ensure the ongoing integrity of the capsules. It's a testament to the dedication and craftsmanship that goes into creating these suspended marvels above the Sacred Valley. Staying in Skylodge is not just about the stunning views and luxurious experience - it's also about being a part of a dream that came to life. It's about experiencing the passion and dedication that went into creating this one-of-a-kind destination. So why not come and experience it for yourself? It's an adventure that you'll never forget!

The capsules are not only architecturally stunning but also surprisingly comfortable, designed with luxury and style in mind. Each capsule is equipped with cozy beds, warm blankets, solar-powered lighting, tables, a bottle of wine with glasses, and a fully equipped bathroom concealed behind a sturdy zippered canvas curtain that includes a toilet and a sink for washing up. Accompanied by guides, guests receive a thorough orientation on the usage of all amenities upon entering their capsules, ensuring that your stay is as comfortable as possible. For added convenience, hotel guests can reach out to their dedicated guide at any time, as they stay overnight in the adjacent dining capsule, always ready to cater to your every need.

Embark on the Ultimate Adventure at Skylodge Adventure Suites

Ascending to the summit requires conquering hundreds of steps along the via ferrata, metal rungs securely anchored into the rock, and traversing a suspended "bridge" made of two steel cables. Before the ascent, guides provide meticulous instructions on how to use the equipment and safety ropes.

For those guests whose physical abilities don't allow them to ascend the lodge via the cliffside route, there's an alternative, slightly easier path along a trail. However, even there, you'll have to ascend a few meters using the via ferrata. Excellent physical fitness is a mandatory requirement for all Skylodge hotel guests.

The descent is notably simpler and quicker – tourists glide down the cable road (zip line) consisting of 7 long stretches.

Expert rock-climbing guides accompany and ensure the safety of the tourists, a paramount focus in this thrilling adventure. Each guide undergoes rigorous first aid training, prepared for any situation. However, so far, all their expertise has not been put to the test.
