Skylodge Adventures
The phrase ‘once in a lifetime’ is thrown around quite freely, but we won’t hesitate to use it when describing a night at Peru’s Sky Lodge, the world’s first and only hanging hotel. Ascend some 1,300 feet up the side of a granite mountain in the Sacred Valley and spend the night in a transparent pod suspended on the mountainside. There’s no one else but you, the stars and the condors who occasionally fly by.

Price Guide
Each journey is tailor-made to you with prices to reflect, but you can expect to pay:
From £8,000 per person

On a luxury holiday to Peru, where the average cost per person starts from £8,000, you’ll stay in some of the most exclusive and remote properties, with transport planned right to the door, every meal taken care of, and almost all activities and excursions included. By chartering a private plane and booking a couple of nights on a private island, or visiting in the low season and staying in more laid-back accommodation, the price of your trip can be altered.

Here at Journeysmiths, we create individual itineraries tailor-made just for you. When you book with us, we’ll design your dream holiday where you will create memories of a lifetime, benefitting from over 30 years of experience, expert travel advice and preparation, flawless organisation, 24/7 support while you are away, and complete ATOL or TOPP financial protection.

Our worldwide network of longstanding partnerships afford us excellent confidential rates with properties, airlines and service providers. This means the price of your holiday will generally be the same as if you booked every individual element yourself - just without any of the hassle.

Truly Amazing Experiences
George Kenning
Over the years we have been lucky enough to travel to a number of countries in Africa but also to Peru and Brazil/Argentina and wherever we have been, we have had truly amazing experiences. Quite simply this is because we have been dealing with a team who not only take the time and trouble to find out what we really want but also who have the detailed personal knowledge of the places that they recommend.
