In addition to spending the night in the SkyLodge or StarLodge, you can also do a via ferrata and zipline. This is great add-on to any trip to Cusco<\/a> or the Sacred Valley<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 options:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. You can do the via ferrata up the SkyLodge, spend the night at the Sky Lodge<\/a>, zipline down in the morning.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Spend the night in the StarLodge, but do the via ferrata up and zipline down<\/a> before going over there for the evening.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Do lunch at the SkyLodge with the via ferrata and zipline<\/a> (day trip from the Sacred Valley or Cusco).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Via Ferrata:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You meet at the base to get your equipment and briefing. There were 4 guides for 11 people. They have had people from 6 to 80 years old. They will take photos along the way, but they cost extra. I thought they were worth it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We started up at 3:00pm, and it took us about 1.5 hours to go up the 400 meters of elevation on the via ferrata. At the top of the climbing area, there is a traverse across (above the SkyLodge pods) over to the ziplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ziplines:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are 6 ziplines. The first one is short, the second one is a tandem, and the last one goes down to the base area. It took us about 1 hour and 15 minutes to get down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
