Bungee Jumping · Monteverde
How to choose
Both tours run at Monteverde Extremo Park and drop you from 143 metres, operated by Monteverde Extremo Park in 45 min. The real question is format, not height. The Tarzan Swing (53.65 €) launches you horizontally across a canyon in a pendulum arc, building tension over a longer arc before the freefall feeling kicks in. The Bungee Jump (89.02 €) sends you straight down from that same 143-metre platform, the classic vertical drop with full rebound. The 35.37 € gap pays for the pure bungee cord mechanic and the bragging rights of Costa Rica's highest jump. Pick the Tarzan Swing for a first taste of exposure at altitude. Go straight for the Bungee if a vertical 143-metre freefall is the specific sensation you're chasing.

Frequently asked questions
How intense is a 143-metre bungee jump compared to a standard one?
Most commercial bungee jumps run between 40 and 80 metres. At 143 metres, the freefall phase is significantly longer, meaning more seconds of weightlessness before the cord engages. That extended exposure is what separates this from a typical beginner drop.
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
The first second after leaving the platform. At 143 metres, the ground accelerates toward you for longer than your brain expects, and the rebound snap at the bottom hits harder than on shorter jumps. Most participants describe that rebound as the defining moment.
Do I need prior experience for either activity?
No prior experience is required. Both tours are rated 'Occasionally sporty', meaning basic fitness is enough. No technical skills are needed since the staff handles all rigging and safety checks.
What's the difference in sensation between the Tarzan Swing and the Bungee Jump?
The Tarzan Swing sends you forward in a wide pendulum arc, so the rush builds progressively as you swing out over the canyon. The Bungee Jump is a direct vertical plunge, immediate and unambiguous. The bungee delivers a sharper, more concentrated adrenaline hit.
Are both activities available year-round in Monteverde?
The listings do not specify a seasonal window, which typically indicates year-round operation. Monteverde's cloud forest climate means rain is possible at any time, so check conditions with the operator before your session.
