Rappel is one of my favorite extreme sports to practice and this experience was great. We had a very nice view from La Paz city at the top the building. The service and assitance were very good. I can reccommended it.

My wife and I heard about this before our trip to La Paz, and although we’ve never tried anything like this before we decided to take a chance and give it a try. We are definitely glad we did.
Upon arrival to the 17th floor of the hotel presidente we were welcomed by the very friendly guys at Urban Rush. These guys are not only friendly, but it’s clear safety is their top priority. We were given multiple opportunities to get comfortable with rappelling on their mini practice wall, and at no time did we feel rushed to stop our practice attempts. The entire staff was also very encouraging, and kind, taking time to both correct our mistakes and praise our successes.
Once we felt ready, the safety procedures were explained one final time, and we were clipped in one at a time, and off we went.
We opted for the face first option, which we initially did not think we had the guts to try, but the relaxed atmosphere that these guys created made us change our minds. Plus the free fall option is only available if you go face first.
The hardest part (if you are fearful of heights or at all uncertain) is getting your brain to come to grips with the fact that you are leaning out the window on the 17th floor. However, because the safety and equipment was explained so completely you can easily get past this.
Once out the window it is AMAZING to see La Paz from such a unique perspective, as you hop down the building for about 25 meters. From there you get to enjoy a free fall of an equal distance before you are safely lowered onto the mat at the bottom.
I almost backed out in the hotel lobby but am very happy that I did this, and am actually interested in doing this again later in the week if time permits. For those who are wondering about the price it’s 25 USD per person for the first jump, but please consider tipping since these guys go out of their way to give you a truly one of a kind experience!

What to expect
After choosing your costume, (superheroes, bacon, mario, duffman, you name it!) Our experienced guides help you put on the harnesses and other safety equipment. Once ready we give detailed instructions and a demonstration of how to participate in the activity. We then let you practice on our small wall inside our premises. You can practice as many times as you want until you feel comfortable and competent to take on the big wall.
One of your guides will go down first to show you what it's all about. 2 other guides will help get you in the system, always double chekcing all points. There are 2 ropes in our system, and 3 brakes. You have your own brake and the guides have 2 others, so it is 100% safe. At the edge you begin your descent as you lean out the door with 50m of adrenaline beneath you. Small steps at first give way to hops and jumps as you gain confidence and speed. About 20 m from the bottom your guides stop you for the ultimate rush - Free fall! Let go, jump and try not to scream! We highly recommend going twice as the 2nd time around you can go even faster and with more confidence. 100% safe, 100% fun, 100% adrenaline! Book now!
