Bungee Jumping started in Costa Rica in September of 1991,and there are currently two bridges where it takes place regularly.The old  Colorado

River bridge,which is 80 meters(265ft) high,is in a beautiful canyon setting only 40 minutes west of San Jose.The bridge is close to Pan-American

highway on the way to the Pacific coast beaches,so stopping for a jump on your way is a must.

Another bridge which can sometimes be used upon request is the Peñas Blancas bridge on the way to La Fortuna,near Arenal Volcano.This bridge

is only 32 meters(108 ft) high but has a beautiful setting over the clear

waters of the Peñas Blancas River.
