It is worth mentioning that the glass slide is not the only attraction at this hotel in Real del Catorce. The location of the place allows for masterful views of the Altiplano Mountains.
To enjoy the scenery, there are also three viewpoints. One represents the Hands of San Francisco; you can stand on the palm of your hand and feel like you are on top of the mountains. The other viewpoint is made of glass, including the floor, so you’ll have a 360° view.
Among the favorites is the stairway to heaven, an installation that culminates in a transparent and suspended viewpoint. There’s also a zip line and even an extreme swing, where you swing in the direction of the mountains!
