The 'Natura Vive Skylodge Adventure Suites' offers guests the opportunity to stay in its vertigo-inducing hotel pods located 1,300 feet above ground. The pods are attached to the side of a mountain in Cuzco, Peru, where guests must literally climb their way to their accommodations.
The hotel pods hang directly off the side of the mountainous cliff for a terror-inducing experience. As if the location isn't scary enough, the pods are completely transparent, meaning you can see exactly how high off the ground you are. The pods are made of ultra-strong polycarbonate plastic and aluminum, which keeps them permanently fixed to the mountain. Each pod is 24 feet long and features four bedrooms, a small dining area and even a bathroom.
While this hotel experience is certainly not for the faint of heart, climbing enthusiasts may get a kick out of scaling their way to their destination.
