Extraordinary experience: Volcano Bungee



Looking for thrills? This experience is for you! 

More than a traditional bungee... How about bungee jumping from the skid of a helicopter into the gaping maw of a bubbling active volcano? 

The helicopter will fly into the caldera of the volcano, where you will bungee jump, coming within 700ft of the actual pool of molten lava


Interested? Let's go to Chile and discover the Bungee.com company!


The firm proposes a 6 days/5 nights package including: 
Everything but transportation to and from Pucón
- 1 day Bungee Jump
- 1 day Whitewater Rafting
- 1 day Hot Springs Activity
- 1 day for travel to and from Pucón
- 1 "Open Day"
- Meals
- Drinks
- and yes, a T-shirt

How much is it? 
A disgustingly, prohibitively expensive $12,500 per person...

Accommodation? 
At the Hotel Del Lago Resort and Casino, a complete 5 stars resort with The International Class casino. 
The casino proposes Bingo, Roulette, Blackjack, slot machines, Craps, Poker Baccarat, Chemin de Fer and other games of chance...


Note the precision in the FAQ:
Could I die?
Yes you could. You'll be signing a waiver, so we're cool.
