Urban Rush
La Paz, Bolivia
It's not base jumping, and it's not exactly bungie either — but Urban Rush aims to provide as big an adrenaline shot as either. Based at the Hotel Presidente, this unique experience allows you to try your hand at Rap Jumping — a face-first method of rappelling that's sure to get you blood pumping. After a brief training session, you're hooked into your gear and costume — you can come down dressed as a superhero if you like — and then set out from the 17th floor to begin your decent. Two guides, two ropes, and three brakes ensure you're safe, and once you're about six floors up, they'll stop you, so you can let go of the rope and enjoy a free fall all the way to the bottom.
