You stand on a compact platform north of Cusco, the valley opening below and wind already testing your balance as the crew runs a final check. In one breath you’re harnessed and briefed; in the next a hydraulic release tears you skyward—three seconds to climb more than 120 meters, the Andes pressing at the horizon while the ground rushes away.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You stand on a compact platform north of Cusco, the valley opening below and wind already testing your balance as the crew runs a final check. In one breath you’re harnessed and briefed; in the next a hydraulic release tears you skyward—three seconds to climb more than 120 meters, the Andes pressing at the horizon while the ground rushes away.
This activity sits on the edge of Poroy district, a landscape shaped by uplifted volcanic and sedimentary layers that give the valley its steep drops and panoramic sightlines. Cusco’s highland culture is never far away: Quechua-speaking communities, terraced fields and old Inca roads are part of the backdrop as you hurtle into the air. The slingshot here is a modern punctuation against ancient geology—an engineered thrill that plays off millennia of tectonic drama.
Expect a 2‑hour outing including a short drive from Plaza Regocijo, a safety briefing and the launch itself. Operators supply helmets, harnesses and trained instructors; there’s also an option for a bungee jump from a 125‑meter platform. Health limits apply—no pregnant guests, no serious heart or spinal conditions, and a 110 kg weight cap. The best time is the dry season for clearer views and lighter winds.
Practical tips: wear layered clothing, closed shoes and avoid loose cameras; carry ID and any medication. Book in advance during high season and arrive early to acclimatize to 3,300+ meters of altitude. Whether you come for the slingshot or the bungee, this is a short, intense way to read the Andes from a vertiginous new angle.
