Carrera 8 #11-90 · San Gil
24-hour front desk

One step out

Bungee jumping

A few seconds of free fall and a cord that bounces you back. Ask the desk whether they can set it up, and with whom.

Poster-style illustration: Bungee jumping

Bungee has no scenery worth mentioning: at the moment of the jump there's only the edge, the countdown and your stomach. Everything else arrives afterwards, hanging upside down and laughing from nerves.

San Gil bills itself as Santander's adventure-tourism capital, and the hostel has featured bungee among local plans on its Instagram.

We haven't confirmed that the front desk books it, so ask them: they'll know whether there's somewhere to jump and with which operator.

What it feels like

Pure stomach: one endless second, then a bounce that leaves you shaking with laughter.

Ideal for

  • Adrenaline hunters
  • Crossing a fear off the list
  • Short plans

What we don't know yet

We'd rather say so than make it up. The team confirms these with the operator:

  • Whether the desk books it
  • Where the jump is and which operator
  • Permitted weight and age
  • Total time

Ask the front desk

  • Is there bungee nearby and can you book it?
  • Which operator do you recommend, and why?
  • Any health or weight restrictions?

Safety & season

Only jump with certified operators who check your weight and health. If you have back, heart or blood-pressure issues, ask first.
