Experience a unique adventure practicing bungee jumping in Lima.
There are different ways to de-stress. One of them could be bungee jumping. Bungee jumping, or bungy jumping, is an activity that consists of the launching of a person from a bridge. The person practicing it is secured with full harnesses that provide support at three points: waist, chest, and legs, allowing them to ascend in a vertical position (almost seated) after the jump. One of the suitable landscapes for bungee jumping in Peru is the Lima highlands. One of them is in the Autisha Canyon, 2 and a half hours from Lima, on the road to San Pedro de Casta in Marcahuasi (via the Santa Eulalia valley road), offering a beautiful landscape to practice this adventure sport. Considerations for your safety: 1. The equipment for bungee jumping includes a helmet, harness, ropes, and gloves. These implements must be nationally and internationally certified. 2. There must be personnel on the bridge for each jump, and if possible, a person below. 3. Ropes should be changed according to their useful life. A bungee jumping rope lasts up to five years, but it all depends on usage and wear. 4. The jump is personal, and it is recommended to jump forward to avoid hitting the railing. 5. It is advisable to perform jumps at a time when there is not much traffic. See also: Bungee Jumping in Poroy Bungee Jumping in Santa Eulalia

The tournament will be held in heats of six athletes each. The waiting period began on December 15, 2013, and based on satellite reports of the sea, these dates were chosen for the championship due to optimal conditions. Considered one of the best waves in the world, compared to Hawaii or Australia, this wave in northern Peru breaks over a sandy bottom forming a perfect tube, where even under ideal conditions, a surfer can stay in the tube for eight to fifteen seconds, a remarkable time in surfing. Among the competitors are surfers Javier Swayne, Álvaro Malpartida, and Cristóbal De Col, the latter being the current champion.
