The tram eases out over the rim, cables humming, and the valley below pulls at your attention like a living thing. Mist snakes upward from the cloud forest and the trees lean in as if to watch. When the platform arrives at the jump point, the drop yawns—143 meters of free fall that makes this one of the highest bungee jumps in Central America.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

The tram eases out over the rim, cables humming, and the valley below pulls at your attention like a living thing. Mist snakes upward from the cloud forest and the trees lean in as if to watch. When the platform arrives at the jump point, the drop yawns—143 meters of free fall that makes this one of the highest bungee jumps in Central America.
Monteverde’s steep ridges are shaped by volcanic uplift and long-term erosion; the result is a series of deep valleys lined in dense cloud forest rather than the flat plains more typical of Costa Rica’s coasts. The jump site sits above a private valley carved into mid-elevation forest where humidity and altitude create persistent mist, hanging on the trees and making experiences feel intimate and immediate.
The human story here is recent: Monteverde transformed from dairy farms and Quaker settlers in the mid-20th century into an ecotourism hub, and attractions like this bungee are a later layer—adrenaline tourism superimposed on conservation-minded travel. Locals balance income from adventure activities with cottage industries like coffee tours and guided night walks; guides and operators tend to be bilingual and familiar with the area’s fragile environment.
Expect practical rules: weight minimum 50 kg and maximum 113 kg, strict medical exclusions for serious heart or back conditions, and a dress code listed as smart casual. Helmets and professional rigging are provided; the bungee tram forbids cameras or video equipment on the tram itself, so plan to hand your devices to staff or leave them secured on site.
The experience typically takes 1–2 hours including transport and briefing. Staff walk you through safety checks, suit you into a harness and helmet, and position the bungee cord based on your weight. The sensation is more than speed—the canopy seems to rise to meet you as the cord takes the load and the valley exhales. Operators often run pickups from Santa Elena and surrounding hotels; reconfirm pickup time and bring ID or passport for verification.
For travelers: choose the dry-season mornings for clearer views and calmer winds, but come prepared for sudden cloud and drizzle year-round. Wear secure, closed-toe shoes and layered clothing—the leap exposes you to wind chill at the rim. Because this is an extreme activity, be honest about medical history when booking. If you want photos, arrange for staff-shot images or a ground-based photographer—personal cameras are restricted on the tram.
This jump is for people who want the physical rush without a technical climb: short, intense, and engineered. Respect the staff’s instructions, the valley’s weather, and the weight limits. Do it right and the memory will live somewhere between a roar in your ears and the quiet of the cloud forest afterward.

Monteverde evolved from 1950s Quaker dairy settlements into an ecotourism center; many current adventure businesses grew alongside conservation initiatives to protect the cloud forest.
Operators work within privately owned valleys and the region’s conservation ethos—stick to guide instructions, avoid litter, and minimize noise to protect sensitive bird and mammal habitat.
