Description

Context Puenting in Santa Brígida takes place from the La Calzada Bridge, a suspended structure spanning a deep volcanic canyon on Gran Canaria. The location offers a dramatic natural setting with typical Canarian vegetation and sweeping views of the rugged volcanic landscape. The free fall lasts approximately 1.25 seconds from a 30-meter height, followed by a Kiene pendulum that extends the sensation of flight.

The experience After arrival and registration, participants are fitted with a certified harness and safety equipment tailored to individual body size for maximum safety. You receive detailed instructions and perform a solo jump from the platform, feeling strong wind and the natural sounds of the canyon echoing during the descent and pendulum phase.

Un salto de puenting desde el Puente de La Calzada, o también llamado Puente de La Angostura, en Santa Brígida, Gran Canaria. Sabiendo esto, tenemos que decirte que te tenemos otra noticia, no solo te espera ese anhelado corrientazo de sensaciones fuertes sino también un entorno precioso. Toda una experiencia de lo más emocionante que durará en torno a 1 hora entre los preparativos y las instrucciones previas. Para experimentar este salto de puenting solo tendrás que venir hasta la localidad de Santa Brígida, una zona montañosa al noreste de la isla.

Del resto nos encargamos nosotros, materiales, instructores profesionales y una formación previa para que conozcas el funcionamiento y los protocolos de cómo saltar en puenting. Cuando hayas llegado al Puente de La Calzada y sea tu turno, prepárate porque lo que viene corta las palabras. Con arnés puesto y seguros enganchados, te pondrás tras la barandilla y te sujetarás con los brazos. A tus pies, un vacío de 30 metros de altura y el bello barranco de Santa Brígida, salpicado por una vegetación salvaje y verde y con partes de roca volcánica desnuda. Con el pulso a mil, en instantes notarás la necesidad de precipitarte, te dejarás caer y lo que vendrá a continuación, será un derroche de adrenalina de proporciones inimaginables que recorrerá tu cuerpo de pies a cabeza hasta dejarte casi embriagado. Una vez hayas caído por completo, tendrás la sensación de levitar boca abajo con el barranco de Santa Brígida por debajo y todavía cargado de emoción te mecerás realizando movimientos pendulares.
