# Transparent Mountainside Pods These Peruvian Hotel Pods are Attached to the Side of a Rocky Cliff By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2015-07-14 | World Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hotel-pods References: [fastcodesign](http://www.fastcodesign.com/3048420/sleep-on-the-side-of-a-mountain-in-these-vertigo-inducing-pods?partner=rss) & [naturavive](http://www.naturavive.com/index.php/en/) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 98% | Activity: 98% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: South America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [World](https://www.trendhunter.com/world) > [Travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/travel) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Vertigo Accommodations:** Opportunity for hospitality professionals to develop extreme accommodations for daring travelers. - **Transparent Structures:** Innovative construction companies can explore the use of polycarbonate plastic for transparent buildings and structures. - **Mountain Tourism:** Potential for tourist boards to promote mountain destinations for adventurous travelers seeking thrill-seeking activities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Hospitality companies can create unique experiences for thrill-seekers with daring accommodations. - **Construction:** Construction companies can explore new and innovative materials like polycarbonate plastic for transparent buildings and structures. - **Tourism:** Tourism boards can promote mountain destinations for thrill-seekers and adventurers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cliffside-Attached Rental Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cliff-dweller-cabin.md) - [Mirrored-Glass Nature Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-cabins.md) - [All-Glass Mesmerizing Compact Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beaufort-bushland-retreat.md) - [Antarctica Glamping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/echo-camping-pods.md) - [Transparent Birchwood Nature Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/immerso-glamping-cabin.md) - [Cliff Edge Wooden Cabins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolder-star-lodges.md) - [Prefab Timber Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-nests-treepod-project.md) - [Forest-Treetop Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/more-cabin.md) - [Intimate High-Altitude Cottages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/altihut.md)
