Costa Rica is the best place if your are an adventure lover or if you are addicted to adrenaline,there is a sport call Bungee Jumping, Basically is about going to a big bridge and jumping off, but is a lot more then that!

The best bungee jumping in Costa Rica is at the bridge in the Naranjo  called Old Colorado River Bridge, about 1 1/2 hours from San Jose( Costa Rica’s capital).After you park the car in a real good typical Costa Rican food restaurant you’re ready for adventure.

You will start walking on this huge bridge that it is  265 feet high, which makes it one of the ten biggest bungee jumping bridges in America.Then there is an bilingual instructor telling you the basic steps to do it. A few minutes later you will be sitting on the ledge  just saying “What am I doing” and the guy will tell you “please turn around and walk in this side”. Once you’re on the edge you just need to put your toes in the limit and count 5.You will hear everybody saying “5, 4, 3, 2, 1, GO!!!!” you just feel how your body moves alone and a few more seconds you just feel this unique, great and amazing feeling of flying and freedom,  the weird part is that when you remember  how afraid you where before jumping you think that you will never do it again, but its the opposite, in the instant you leave  the bridge you just want to jump again.

I am an adventure guy who will try almost anything and the bungee jump that I did is one of the highlights of  my year.
