Activity description
Whoever has tried bungee jumping will agree it's the ultimate thrill. Experience jumping from 30m at the Buitrago bridge: the only jump in the Madrid area!
At the small town of Buitrago, less than an hour's drive from Madrid, you will find the Buitrago Bridge. This old railway bridge used to be a stop for the Madrid-Burgos train and connected the towns of Buitrago de Lozoya, Vascones and Villavieja del Lozoya to the capital.
After meeting in the arranged meeting spot you'll be briefed into the do's and don'ts of your bungee jump, you'll be able to ask every question you might have so you can feel absolutely safe. Then, you'll approach the jumping area where you'll be geared up. If this jump is your first bungee jump, you'll be strapped from your ankles and in a full-body harness as an additional safety measure - then you'll jump headfirst.
When your turn comes, you'll face the void! This is the moment you'll have to gather courage. Once everything is ready you'll receive a clear sign: "3,2,1" and your name.
For jumping, you'll use duplicate dynamic ropes, ankle harnesses and integral fall arresters for double the safety.
After you've bounced back a couple of times, the team will take you down to the base of the bridge so you can catch your breath.
