Gravity meets the Andes.

This Cusco bungee and slingshot combo is built around two big moments: a 125 m freefall from a top platform and a 120 m slingshot rocket launch. I like that you get the views from up top before you go, so it’s not just a body-thriller, it’s a body-thriller with scenery.

What makes it even better is how focused the team is on safety and clear instruction. I also like that you’re not stuck in a long, confusing process; you get kitted out quickly, go up, jump, then head right into the next adrenaline hit. One thing to consider: this is not for everyone, with strict limits on age, weight, and health conditions.

Key things I’d zero in on

• 125 m bungee from the highest platform in Latin America
• Double adrenaline with a bungee jump plus a 120 m slingshot in one outing
• Wind-in-your-hair views from the suspension platform before you jump
• Watch-and-rest moment after landing, with viewing platforms at the base
• English or Spanish instruction, plus expert instructors and required safety gear
• Extra charge for photos/video, while a bungee certificate is included

The 125 m bungee jump: the part that changes your heartbeat

The day starts with a pickup from central Cusco and a short ride to the bungee tower, about 20 minutes from the city center. Once you arrive, you get the safety gear fitted and you’ll follow the team’s directions through the pre-jump routine. It’s fast, practical, and designed to get you moving without feeling rushed.

Then comes the climb. You’ll head up to the suspension platform for the views across the area, and that matters more than you might think. From up there, the whole event shifts from fear into focus: you can see what you’re stepping off into, and you get time to steady your breathing before you go.

The bungee itself drops from 125 meters high, and that scale is the real deal here. It’s not a “tiny thrill” jump. You’ll feel the wind and the rush as you fall and rebound, and the motion is strong enough that you’ll want to keep your body posture exactly the way your instructors tell you. It’s the kind of adrenaline where you’re fully present for every second.

After landing, you don’t just disappear. You can watch other jumpers from the viewing platforms and take a breather at the base before the next activity. That pause is helpful if you’re doing the full combo, because the slingshot comes quickly after.

Slingshot after the jump: 120 m in about 3 seconds

If you choose the full combo, your adrenaline doesn’t get to cool off. After the bungee, you’ll head to the slingshot area and suit up again. The slingshot fires you 120 meters high, with the ride happening in roughly 3 seconds.

That short time window is why this feels so intense. There’s less “thinking time” and more “hold on and trust the system.” You’ll get the sensation of being launched fast, like a rocket, and the speed plus height combo is what makes people keep talking about it afterward.

The good part is that you’ve already done the bungee, so your brain knows what the safety setup feels like. You’re not starting from zero. You’ll still want to follow instructions closely, especially around your body position during the launch and the landing sequence.

Where you start in Cusco: Plazoleta Regocijo and a clean 2-hour flow

Your meeting point is Plazoleta Regocijo (Water Fountain). Plan to check in 30 minutes before your scheduled start time. That early check-in buffer is important because you need time for gear fitting and getting through the setup process without stress.

The total experience time is about 2 hours, but the pacing is more like: arrive, fit safety gear, do the bungee, rest at the base, then move to the slingshot. With that kind of schedule, you’ll want your shoes ready and your clothes comfortable, because you’ll be moving around more than you’d expect for an activity that’s mostly about “standing on a platform.”

Also remember: pickup and drop-off are included at designated meeting points in Cusco. That’s a value add, since you don’t need to organize transport to a tower outside town on your own.

Finally, the event offers instruction in English and Spanish, and you’ll usually get clear, step-by-step coaching so you know what to do right up to the moment you launch.

Safety and who should think twice (before you buy)

This combo is built on safety gear and expert instructors, and that’s the point. But the bigger truth is that the experience has strict “not for you” rules, and you should take them seriously.

You must meet the age and weight limits for both activities:

• Minimum age: 13 years old
• Under 18s need parental consent
• Maximum age: 65 years old, with prior medical review or a certificate
• Weight: above 45 kg (99 lb) and less than 115 kg (253 lb)

You also need to be in good physical condition. The activity is not suitable for people with conditions listed like:

• lesions in the upper or lower limbs
• hypertension
• heart problems
• spinal problems
• varicose veins
• pregnancy

If you have any doubt, treat it like a medical question, not a thrill question. This is one of those activities where “I think I’ll be okay” can turn into a bad day.

One small but useful note: instructors can help calm nerves. In at least one case, a guide named Johan was described as calming and supportive when someone felt scared, even offering a quick Cusco rundown while keeping things relaxed. That kind of tone is exactly what you want if adrenaline makes you tense.

What to wear and how to prep for the wind

You don’t need fancy gear, but you do need comfort. Bring comfortable shoes and comfortable clothes. Think secure footwear first. You’ll be standing, climbing, and moving around while they fit equipment, so avoid anything that slips or ties weirdly.

You should also expect that you’ll feel wind and motion during the jumps. The experience is all about adrenaline rushing through your body, and it’s the kind of event where you notice your senses more than you plan to. If you’re prone to motion discomfort, keep that in mind and ask the team for guidance before you go.

For the full combo, plan your energy. You’ll do bungee first, then slingshot. Staying hydrated and having a calm mindset helps, but you should also remember that food and drinks aren’t included, so you’ll want to eat beforehand or bring a plan for after.

Video and photos are available to buy on site, but they are not included. If you want proof, budget for that extra cost ahead of time.

Price and value: does $139 make sense?

At $139 per person for a 2-hour outing, the value comes from what’s included, not just the ticket. Your price covers:

• pickup and drop-off at designated Cusco meeting points
• transportation to and from the tower
• the bungee jump and/or slingshot (based on your choice)
• expert instructors and all required safety equipment
• a bungee jump certificate
• skipping the ticket line

The big comparison is “combo vs single.” If you only want one thrill, you can opt for just bungee or just slingshot. But if you’re chasing the full adrenaline package, bundling both activities into one trip is usually where the money feels more reasonable.

What’s not included is what usually adds up later: food and drinks, plus video and photos. Also, the event has physical limits, so if you’re on the edge health-wise or weight-wise, don’t assume you’ll be able to do the activity once you arrive. Check your eligibility first so you don’t lose that cost.

Bottom line: if you fit the requirements and you want both major drops, this price is fairly aligned with the level of equipment, instruction, and the sheer height numbers.

Should you book the Cusco bungee and slingshot combo?

Book it if you:

• want one concentrated session of big height adrenaline
• are comfortable following safety instructions closely
• can meet the strict age/weight/health rules
• like the idea of seeing the scenery from the platform before you jump

Skip it (or choose carefully) if you:

• have any of the listed health issues like heart problems, spinal problems, hypertension, pregnancy, or varicose veins
• don’t meet the weight limits (you must be between 45 and 115 kg)
• get so anxious that you might freeze through instructions, since this is about following coaching in the moment

If you’re on the fence, consider doing only one activity first, especially if you want the views and the experience without needing to go straight into the second launch.
