This morning we were met by our guides Cesar (a tough mountain guide) and Rodrigo (an energetic rock climber and snowboarder) and escorted out to the start of our adrenaline-filled Via Ferrata mountain climb and action-packed zip-line descent in the heart of the Sacred Valley! These two incredible adventures were divided by a once-in-life-time lunch at the famous Sky Lodge hanging capsules’ dining room, dangling 1300 ft above the Sacred Valley floor!
Via Ferrata is a type of rock climbing on an established route with a safety system permanently installed. It gives adventurers with no experience in climbing and using minimal equipment, the opportunity to move through spectacular mountain scenery. The 6000 foot zip-line descent, spread out over five cables, will give you the extra adrenaline you need to make this your favorite experience in Peru (aside from Machu Picchu, of course!) !
Check out Gretchen and Diego’s video of their thrilling adventure up the Via Ferrata, lunch at the Sky Lodge and zip-line descent!
