One glance up, and your stomach knows.

This Cusco combo pairs a towering 125-meter bungee with a 120-meter slingshot so you get two big adrenaline hits back-to-back, all starting with convenient pickup from Cusco. I especially like the way the team focuses on safety gear, clear instructions, and that moment when you’re up high taking in the scenery before you jump.

The second thing I really like is the pacing: you land, catch your breath, watch other jumpers, and then switch gears for the slingshot without feeling rushed. One thing to consider is that this is very specific about health, age, and body limits—so if you’re outside the rules, it’s better to plan a different Cusco adventure.

Key Things I’d Book This For

• 125 m bungee jump from one of the highest platforms in Latin America
• Combo option so you can choose both activities or just one
• Slingshot launch to 120 m in 3 seconds, with that fast, rocket-like pull
• Safety-first setup with expert instructors and all required equipment
• Bungee jump certificate to take home as a fun proof-of-bravery item

First: What You’re Really Signing Up For in Cusco

This is not a gentle activity. It’s controlled adrenaline—set up with instructors, gear, and a real sequence of jumps that keeps moving. If you’re the type who likes doing the hardest thing while your courage is still warm, this combo format is a good fit.

You’ll spend about 2 hours total from pickup through drop-off, and the whole point is to give you two different sensations. The bungee is all about the big view and then that sudden, stomach-lurching freefall. The slingshot flips the vibe: less “falling,” more “being launched,” with the emphasis on that rapid climb skyward.

Also, Cusco has a lot of history and altitude-flavored sightseeing, so it’s refreshing to have an outing that’s more about physical nerves and less about lines, museums, or endless uphill walks. You’re still outdoors, but the focus is the experience itself.

Where You Meet: Plazoleta Regocijo and the Start of the Day

You’ll meet at Plazoleta Regocijo (Water Fountain). This is handy because it’s easy to find and it keeps the morning start simple. From there, you’ll get picked up and driven about 20 minutes to the bungee tower outside the city center.

I like short transfers for adrenaline stuff. Less time in a van means more time in the moment, and you’re not burning energy before you’re about to jump. The drive is also long enough to feel like you’ve changed settings, but not so long that you’re bored or stuck in transit.

Getting Kitted Out: Safety Gear, Instructions, and Calm Nerves

Once you arrive at the tower, you’ll be equipped with the necessary safety gear. You’ll also work with expert instructors, and the activity runs with English or Spanish guidance.

This part matters more than people think. When your body is about to do something extreme—high off the ground—your brain wants two things: reassurance and clarity. The setup gives you both. You’ll get instructed, fitted, and then you’ll climb up to the platform.

One review I saw highlighted how staff can be genuinely calming, especially if you’re nervous at the last second. If that sounds like you, that’s a good sign: the team isn’t just handing you a harness and walking away.

The Bungee Platform Moment: Views Up High Before You Jump

Next comes the climb. You’ll head up to the top suspension platform and get time to look around before the jump. This is where the Cusco setting becomes part of your memory: you’re not just dropping—you’re looking outward first.

That pause on the platform is worth taking seriously. Don’t rush your breathing or pretend you’re fearless. Instead, use that view time to settle your focus. Looking across the scenery helps you treat the jump like a moment you’re choosing, not a thing you’re being forced into.

Then the big number: you’ll bungee jump from 125 meters high. The height is the point. It’s high enough that you feel the physical reality of wind and speed, not just the idea of “jumping.”

Landing and Reset: Watching Other Jumpers Gives You Perspective

After you land, you’ll be able to rest near the base. There’s also a viewing setup where you can watch other jumpers.

I like this step because it changes your emotional state. Before the jump, you’re trapped in your own nervous system. After the jump, you’re watching other people go through the same fear-to-fresh-adrenaline loop. It’s a strange kind of comfort.

It also helps if you’re doing the combo. Once you’ve come down and caught your breath, your brain stops thinking only about the first activity. You can shift into preparation mode for the slingshot.

The Slingshot: 120 M in 3 Seconds (The “Rocket” Feeling)

Then it’s over to the slingshot. This is the “double the fun” part of the combo—and it’s a totally different physical sensation from bungee.

You’ll fly up to 120 meters high in about 3 seconds. That timing is the key detail. Fast launches create a feeling that’s closer to acceleration than to falling, and the whole experience becomes more intense because it happens quickly.

The slingshot is also a good choice if you’re worried about the bungee part but still want the major thrill. You get another shot at the adrenaline, but with a different rhythm.

If you’re someone who could happily do this repeatedly, you’re not alone. One review was basically a love letter to the slingshot, calling it something they could do daily if allowed. That reaction makes sense: it’s intense, short, and very clearly “you did it” the moment you reach the top.

Combo vs One Activity: Choosing What Fits Your Nerves

You can choose to do just one activity or the full combo. That flexibility is useful because not everyone wants two adrenaline hits in one outing.

If you’re new to these activities, I’d consider doing the full combo only if you’re comfortable with nerves and you trust the safety team. Two extreme moments can be a mental challenge, not just a physical one.

If you’re unsure, doing just one can still be a huge win—especially with a 125 m bungee and the big, quick slingshot launch. You won’t be “missing out” so much as you’ll be setting yourself up for a calmer experience.

Price and Value: Is $139 a Good Deal for Two Thrills?

At $139 per person for a total of about 2 hours, you’re paying for a premium, high-platform activity plus transportation and staff support. This isn’t just “buy a ticket and figure it out.” You’re paying for instructors, safety equipment, pickup/drop-off, and the sequence of bungee then slingshot (if you choose the combo).

Here’s the value logic that matters: you’re getting two major vertical thrills in one outing. Many adrenaline experiences are expensive because they’re one-off. This one stacks them, so the cost per thrill can feel more reasonable than booking separate sessions.

Also included:

• pickup and drop-off at designated Cusco meeting points
• the bungee jump and/or slingshot
• a bungee jump certificate
• expert instructors and safety equipment
• transportation

Not included:

• food and drinks
• video/photos (available to purchase on site)

If you’re planning to spend extra on photos anyway, ask how the on-site options work before you commit—just so you’re not surprised by last-minute costs.

What to Bring and Wear: Simple Rules That Keep You Comfortable

This is one of those activities where your outfit can either help or annoy you. Bring:

• comfortable shoes
• comfortable clothes

You’ll be moving from meeting point to vehicle to tower to platform. You don’t want tight clothes that restrict you or shoes that slip. Think practical over stylish.

Since this is outdoors, dress with the idea that you’ll want layers. The wind factor is real once you’re doing the bungee and slingshot.

Who This Tour Works Best For (and Who Should Skip)

This activity has real limits, and I’m glad they exist. It protects you and keeps the equipment work within safe parameters.

Minimum age is 13, and under 18 needs parental consent. Maximum age is 65, with prior medical review or a certificate.

Weight limits are tight:

• must be above 45 kg (99 lb.)
• and less than 115 kg (253 lb.)

There are also health/fitness restrictions. You should not participate if you have:

• lesions in upper or lower limbs
• hypertension, heart problems
• spinal problems
• varicose veins
• pregnancy
• back problems (listed separately as well)
• low level of fitness

If any of those apply to you, it’s not worth negotiating. Choose another Cusco activity that fits your body instead.

A Note on Anxiety and Paperwork: One Experience With Fingerprinting

One review mentioned that the guide Johan did a mini tour and kept things calm after the group decided not to jump. That same review also said they were asked for fingerprints, and that didn’t feel comfortable to them.

I can’t confirm what you’ll be asked during your check-in beyond what’s listed in the general rules, but here’s practical advice: if fingerprinting or any identification step makes you uneasy, ask your guide or staff what’s required before you start the process. You’re allowed to take a moment and understand what’s going on.

And if you’re nervous, that Johan example is a good reminder: a skilled instructor can help you settle down enough to make a choice.

Language and Staff: English or Spanish Help at the Tower

The activity includes an instructor who speaks English and Spanish. That matters because good instruction is safety instruction. If you’re not fluent, it’s still reassuring to have clear guidance in a language you can understand.

You’ll also get a bungee jump certificate afterward. It’s small, but it’s a nice keepsake when you’re trying to turn “I was scared” into “I did it.”

Photos and Video: Budget a Bit If You Want Proof

Video and photos are not included, but they are available to purchase on site. If you like having a record of the moment, plan for the cost.

The good news is that you’re already doing the experience, so even if you skip photos, you’ll still have the real memory: height, wind, and the launch feeling.

Should You Book This Cusco Bungee and Slingshot Combo?

Book it if you want a time-efficient adrenaline day with strong staff support, you fit the age/weight/health rules, and you’re comfortable doing two big thrill moments in about 2 hours.

Skip it (or choose only one activity) if you’re close to the limits, you know you have health concerns listed in the restrictions, or you prefer a calmer outing. This is thrilling by design, so it’s not a good match for low fitness or medical conditions that affect limbs, spine, heart, or circulation.

If you do book, wear comfortable shoes and clothes, arrive with enough time to check in early, and treat the platform view as your moment to steady yourself.
