CNN  — 

Would you sleep in a transparent capsule hanging off the side of a Peruvian mountain?

That’s the idea behind the spectacular Skylodge Adventures Suites, glass lodges precariously situated on the side of a cliff in Peru’s Sacred Valley.

If you’re brave enough to stay, these crystalline pods are accessible only after climbing 400 meters (about 1,300 feet) of the rock face or hiking a daring trail featuring a zip-line network.

Once you settle down for the night, you’re treated to impressive panoramic views of the wild valley below and, at night, the Milky Way.

Unique experience

Inside these 24- by eight-feet pods, guests are treated to views worth marveling over– alongside four beds, a dining area and a private bathroom.

The beds have down pillows and quilts, ensuring you’ll sleep well, if you aren’t distracted by stargazing.

Rodriguez says the main challenges of constructing this unique structure were “getting things up there” and “designing it to handle winds.”

Don’t worry though – the pods are crafted from aerospace aluminum and weather resistant polycarbonate – so Natura Vive promises they are secure and guests are safe.

The SkyLodge suites are for adventurers only.

Peru’s Sacred Valley – home to natural wonders, greenery and archaeological ruins – is book-ended (more or less) by two UNESCO World Heritage sites: former Imperial capital Cusco and 15th century Inca citadel Machu Picchu.

The SkyLodges are well positioned to allow guests a day or two to admire the Valley from above, before venturing below and onto Macchu Picchu.
