The rope jump is a leap into the void with a dynamic-rope system: there is no bridge, but a rope installation that the team sets up between the walls of the Chillapájaros narrows. Wild Jump does it from 100 metres high, with 80 of free fall before the rope starts to brake, and Visit Montanejos presents it as the highest rope jump in Spain.

How the day works

You meet at the meeting point the company gives you and from there they take you to the jump point. Beforehand there is a full technical briefing, the system is adjusted and checked for each jumper and there is supervision throughout the jump. You get two videos: one of your face in close-up and another in 360 degrees from the jump point. Groups are small; there are also private jumps for a closed group, with a date depending on availability.

Price and conditions

The first jump costs €150 and €130 per person in groups of six or more. The second, €100 if you book on the website and €120 if you decide on the spot. To confirm the booking the company may ask for up to half in advance; the rest is paid there before jumping, by transfer, Bizum, card or cash.

The maximum weight is 120 kg. People with epilepsy, heart problems, incompatible injuries or pregnant women cannot jump, nor anyone under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and staff may ask for a medical certificate. The website does not publish a minimum age: ask if you are going with a minor. Jump dates appear in its calendar, and the company may cancel because of bad weather; you can then change the booking within a period of six months.

If it seems too much

From below, the narrows are done swimming in the Chillapájaros water canyon, and from above, on foot, along the Estrechos trail, which passes the viewpoints over the wall.

Tips

  • Book more than a week ahead If you book with less than seven days' notice, the company does not refund the money.
  • Have a light breakfast The free fall lasts several seconds and the stomach notices.
  • Bring someone below The videos are included, but seeing the jump from outside is something else.
