Via ferrata & zip-line to arrive in the Skylodge
Feel the difference and adrenaline with an incredible view of nature in contrast to what most of the Sacred Valley hotels can offer you.
Via Ferrata
It is a path used to climb a 400-meter rocky mountain with a safety system permanently installed. Anyone who is in good health and physical condition is able to climb the via ferrata. The minimum age to do it is 8 years old.
The climbers are permanently tied to a steel cable or “lifeline” that runs through the entire route. Metal ladders, bridges, and similar facilities are used. If a fall occurs, the person will remain tied to the “lifeline” without any risk. In charge of accompanying the climbers, there are professional guides trained in vertical rescue and ropes.
All equipment is certified and it is provided when the adventure begins. These elements are a pelvic harness, helmet, gloves and a via ferrata lanyard, (double system with strength dissipater especially designed for via ferrata climbers).
The ascent and descent of the Sacred Valley Peru Skylodge route last between 3-4 hours in accordance with the group pace.
Zip-line
It gives people the opportunity to fly over the magnificent valley, in a safe and fun way. The zip-line has 7 lines or cables, from 150m to 700m, for a total of 2800m.
Starts with 30-40 minutes and 4 meters climbing, easy and via ferrata equipped which takes you to the first line. Once there, each line is different from the other. You first take the easy and short line and then, the circuit allows you to improve your zip-line expertise. You lose velocity when you are getting closer to the end of the line. Duration is 3-4 hours depending on the size group.
The elements used are a ferrata kit and a zip-line kit (pulley, 3 carabiners, and lanyard). All equipment is certified and specially made for this activity. Guides are trained periodically in vertical rope rescue and first-aid.
