Valley Views
PERU


Guests of Skylodge Adventure Suites in the Sacred Valley near Cuzco ascend a via ferrata about 400 metres above the valley floor to enter a guest room unlike any other.

CALIFORNIA

earns points for its braggability factor. Rates start at US$175 per night. www.treebonesresort.com
