5.00Great location. Beautiful view. Llamas and Alpacas right by. Such a beautiful experience. You can wake up yourself to an alpaca or llama peeking in. Very friendly and helpful family. We did the workshop around the weaving which was also a very nice experience. The food is super tasty. Good simple breakfast. If you want an original overnight stay and place to stay then Sky dome is definitely recommended.
Absolute highlight of my trip

5.00This was one of the highlights of our trip to Peru. Not only are you really experiencing life with a family, their traditions, and unique ways, they are warm, friendly and such great hosts. I would recommend this place, 10 times out of 10. They even have an oxygen tank on sight so if you're feeling altitude sickness like I was, it helped immediately to feel better. We loved their animals and we loved them so much!
Peaceful and unique experience

5.00One of the highlights of our Peru holiday. So tranquil and close to nature. We loved walking Inti, the alpaca, Brownie, the dog and Maro and Wayra, the llamas. They were the perfect walking companions along with Cidelia, who is the owner of Sky dome. We were enthralled by her stories, accompanied by the epic views of the sacred valley and Machu qolqa ruins. Almost felt like we were immersed in the culture and landscape with no crowds around. Treasured memories for sure!
Definetely something to do

Peruvian Family Stay with a View in Pece and Quiet

5.00This trip was an amazing experience starting from pick up to drop off. We were picked up in Cusco from our hotel and it is a little over an hours drive to Sky Dome. My room was Killen. The toilet was just outside the door to my bedroom. The sun poured in during the day creating a very warm room and it was cold at night as there is no heating but the blankets are sufficient. The views are fabulous and it is quiet and peaceful . Bird watching was great and the family dogs were entertaining. Meals were in the dining room and were excellent. We opted to take the Maras Moray tour which started with walking their llamas to an Incan/preIncan ruin and sharing a Qechua ceremony onsite. There was no one else there. Cedelia returned the llamas to the farm and a driver picked us up to see the Maras salt terraces and Moray terraces guided by Joel. All completely worth seeing. It felt like a homestay with the family. Our tour included chicha and chocolate tasting! When we returned to Cusco, the driver dropped us off at the San Pedro market and waited for us to shop then took us to the airport. I cannot recommend this stay highly enough for the rooms, view, peace and Peruvian family warmth.

5.00We absolutely Loved our visit with Sky Dome Peru!! Cidelia and Yoel were so kind & welcoming hosts. Our walk with the Alpaca Inti and Llamas Maro & Wayra were extra special!! Cidelia shared a special Inca ceremony and ruins that is a part of her culture and now a part of our hearts. The views from sky domes were mesmerizing and the beds were so comfortable.
