Back in 2005, I backpacked around Costa Rica for 18 days.  In Montezuma, I hiked up to a series of 3 waterfalls.  The middle one is a good 30-feet high, but I didn’t have my camera, nor was I ever able to find a decent photo of it thereafter.

And then Christian from Around the World in 175 Days jumped off of it too, and posted great shots and video to boot!  So, to satisfy my ego and share this classic Costa Rican feat of adrenaline and adventure with the world, I offer you his footage.  :)

What’s the highest waterfall, cliff, or bridge you’ve jumped from?


Christan's leap of faith

Christan leaps (as I, and many others did before him)
