Bungee Jumping into a Volcano video

Bungee Jump in a Volcano

Well, this is really something a bit special bungee jumping into the smoking, bubbling, active volcano close Pucn, deep in the Patagonian Andes of Chil - a seriously awesome venue!

And how do you get there? Helicopter of course  and you hop from the skids of the helicopter no way youll be standing on the lip of the volcano.

Ok, so youre obviously not going to dip your head into the molten lava  you will be 700 ft above it so no singed hairs which will be a relief, but the adrenaline kick will be out of this world. The helicopter flies into the caldera of the volcano and it is from there that you will bungee jump. The jump itself is less than 122 metres, but the slip leaves adventurers hovering just 213 metres above a pool of bubbling, red-hot lava. To date, there have been no reported fatalities from the Villarrica jump! thats re-assuring
the crater at Villarrica voclano near Pucon, Chile

This photo is pretty incredible but you will be hanging directly over it with this bungee hop: the undisputable hop of a thousand lifetimes tell the organisers. Perhaps this is the time to be wearing a GoPro?

Its not cheap this jump; $12,500 per person, but you might consider that money well spent!!! The company you have to contact is bungee.com  defining adventure  and how

And there are other things to do while you are there. Pucn, 100 km to the southeast of Temuco and 780 km to the south of Santiago, with its lake, volcano and remarkably stable weather, is a very popular tourist destination (which is perhaps something you didnt desire to hear), but it is one of Chiles most well known adventure centres. As well as doing this most weird bungee jump, you can water ski, snow ski, white water raft, kayak, try out a variety of zip line rides or just chill out in natural warm springs  or chill out in those natural hotsprings after  youve dangled head down into the bubbling maw!
