Feel the Rush in the Entertainment Guide
1, 2, 3… Bungee! It is what you will hear right as you jump into an adrenalin filled freefall towards the oceahttp://mx.vallartaonline.com/accommodations/hotels/presidente/n. An experience that while only lasts a few seconds is without a doubt something you will remember all your life.
Only 15 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta, near the Hotel President Intercontinental, is Pacific Bungee. Opened in 1993, the bungee jump platform is located on a cliff high above the ocean, which challenges you to jump from 40 meters of height with your body merely held by a couple harnesses and cords.
You have two different choices for jumping. First: you are help by one harness around the chest, the other at the waist. This is usually the choice of first time bungee jumpers.
The second choice, for the experienced or the daring is the ankle jump; with only one cord around the ankle and a harness around the waist for extra safety. This is a more spectacular choice, as you dive head first towards the ocean.
To bungee jump, you must fulfill the following requirements: No previous or known cardiac disease, no bone afflictions, diabetes or hypertension. You must be sober, (no alcohol) and you must sign a letter of release and acceptance.
I recommend that before jumping, you are 100% sure you want to do it, because once you pay, there is no going back!
Ready to feel the rush? After you are harnessed in the position you have chosen, the operators will check over all of the equipment and perform a safety check. Once you have been given the “OK” you are free to fly!
