Step off a 125-meter platform above an Andean valley outside Cusco for one of Latin America’s highest bungee jumps. This half-day trip from the historic center blends hair-raising adrenaline with practical logistics—pickups, professional instructors, and safety briefings included.
The platform waits like a stern referee perched over a raw Andean cut — a narrow ribbon of valley that dares you to step forward. At 125 meters the drop is not just vertical distance but a sudden conversation with altitude itself: Cusco's thin air, wind that tugs at your jacket, and the valley below that seems to inhale and hold its breath. You are collected from the historic center of Cusco and driven 11 km west to Poroy, where the jump site perches on a ridge with panoramic views of terraced hills and distant snow-streaked peaks.

The platform waits like a stern referee perched over a raw Andean cut — a narrow ribbon of valley that dares you to step forward. At 125 meters the drop is not just vertical distance but a sudden conversation with altitude itself: Cusco's thin air, wind that tugs at your jacket, and the valley below that seems to inhale and hold its breath. You are collected from the historic center of Cusco and driven 11 km west to Poroy, where the jump site perches on a ridge with panoramic views of terraced hills and distant snow-streaked peaks.
This jump is staged on the high plateau of the Peruvian Andes, a landscape shaped by tectonic uplift and glacial gouging. Cusco, once the political center of the Inca empire, casts a cultural shadow over the region — you’ll notice Quechua phrases, woven textiles hung to dry, and roadside vendors selling coca leaves that generations of locals have used to cope with the altitude. Geologically, the valley below is young and steep; rivers have cut fast and narrow channels that make for dramatic drop-offs and the perfect stage for a bungee platform.
Locally run operations handle transfers from hotels in Cusco to Poroy (about 20 minutes by road). Professional instructors fit you into harnesses, run through a safety briefing, and attach the cords to approved anchor systems. The company issues a certificate after the jump and carries first-aid kits and standard safety gear. Expect a small group environment—this is a semi-private tourist transfer rather than a mass event.
Practicalities matter here. Cusco sits around 3,400 meters (11,150 feet); if you fly in from sea level, allow at least 48 hours to acclimatize. Hydrate, avoid heavy alcohol the night before, and bring layered clothing — temperatures swing quickly on exposed ridgelines. The operation flags strict medical restrictions: those with spinal problems, serious heart conditions, or pregnancy cannot participate. Physical fitness should be high; you will need to climb onto the platform, follow harness instructions, and handle the shock of the rebound.
Timing is straightforward: pickups happen in the morning from central hotels and Airbnb addresses in the historic district. The whole excursion runs roughly two hours, including transfers and briefing. Wear closed-toe shoes with good grip, bring ID and your passport details (they’ll collect passport info for waivers), and arrive with a clear, focused mind.
When you step off the edge, the valley swallows the sound for a second — then the cord pulls you back, and the landscape exhales with you. It’s a short, intense dialogue with the Andes: bold, precise, and utterly anchored in place.
The platform is 125 meters above the valley floor—one of the highest commercial bungee jumps in Latin America.
Operators typically set age and weight limits for safety; confirm at booking—minors need guardian consent and specific weight ranges are applied.
No technical experience required; instructors handle rigging and briefing. You should however be physically fit and comfortable with heights.
Pregnancy, serious heart conditions, and spinal injuries are disqualifying. Disclose any health issues before participating.
Pickup from hotels and central Airbnbs in Cusco is provided; the drive to Poroy is about 20 minutes (11 km) each way.
Many operators offer optional photo/video packages—confirm availability and pricing in advance; otherwise bring a secured phone or action camera only if permitted.
