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.

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. The swing lasts between 10 and 15 seconds, creating a lasting sensation of floating above the canyon.
