Sleep in the Sky in Urubamba
PERU
This is a bucket list worthy experience. Spending a night in the first-ever hanging lodge in the world is equal parts exciting, thrilling, and memorable. The Skylodge Sacred Valley has three transparent pods hanging from the side of a cliff face at an altitude of 370 metres. Ideal for eight guests, each pod comes equipped with a bedroom, dining area, and private bathroom with eco-toilet and sink. It’s not for the faint-hearted though, the pods can only be reached by a ladder climb from the valley floor, or via a hike and zip line, though no climbing experience is needed. Once on top, you get to enjoy the unmatched 300° view of the majestic Sacred Valley. Checkout is equally exciting; an adrenaline-filled descent down a three-circuit zip line takes you all the way down to your driver. setours.com
