The $450-a-night Airbnb daredevil hanging from the mountainside

Are you talking about a room with a view.

Perched 1,300 feet in the air on the side of a mountain in Peru’s Sacred Valley, there’s a lodging option for true thrill seekers.

The Skylodge Adventure Suites, which is listed on Airbnb for $450 per night, includes three transparent pods that are attached to the rock via strong cables.

To get to the original guest house, travelers must harness themselves and climb a demanding route strewn with steep stairs, ladders and steel cables. To descend, there are six zip lines to traverse.

However, Laura, who checked into the lodge in 2019 with her boyfriend, cautioned that this place is not for the faint-hearted.

She explained: “I’m not a natural climber and I’ve never done anything like this before, but I wanted to push myself to do something scary and once in my life. And that’s exactly what it was.

‘[Spending] 1 hour 40 minute climb up a mountain face was the hardest and scariest thing I have ever done…but overall most rewarding. Zip lines are so much fun.

“I was so happy to have my rock climbing boyfriend guiding me.”

For those who need to calm their nerves after their stay at height, there is an open-air spa on the way back from the mountain with hot tubs and treatment huts.
