Sleeping capsules suspended 400m high in Peru mean you can literally climb into bed
POSTED 06 Aug 2015 . BY Helena Bland
The pods provide intrepid explorers with a 300 degree view of the Sacred Valley of Cuzco
Peruvian tour operator Natura Vive is offering courageous guests the opportunity to climb 1,312ft (400m) up a cliff face or hike a trail along zip-lines to sleep in a transparent hanging bedroom.

The sleeping capsules, created and designed by Ario Ferri, sit 1,312ft (400m) high on a cliff face in the Sacred Valley of Cuzco. They provide intrepid explorers with a 300 degree view of the beautiful landscape, as well as a unique and potentially unnerving experience.

Three pods have been installed and are handcrafted from aerospace aluminium and weather-resistant polycarbonate. Despite being only 24ft (7.3m) long and 8ft (2.4m) tall and wide, each pod can sleep up to eight people and comes equipped with a bedroom, dining area and private bathroom.

The pods also feature six windows and four ventilation ducts, while all of the lights within the pod are powered by solar panels, offering an eco-friendly solution to the issue of sourcing power on a mountainside.

The experience of a climb or zip-line trail along the mountainside with a night in the sleeping capsules costs around US$311 (€287, £200) per person. This also comes with dinner, a bottle of wine (just in case the heights don’t make you dizzy enough) and breakfast.
