Bungee Consultants brought the Extreme Machine multi activity tower design to Costa Rica, making it only the second installation of it's kind in the world, after BCI's South Korea project in cooperation with Daewoo in 2001.

The project was developped in La Fortuna, a small tourist town, nestled in the rainforest at the base of Arenal Volcano. Site owner Pablo Herrera had a dream of opening a bungee operation in this adventure paradise, and with help from BCI, he realized this in February 2007. From this, Arenal Bungee was born .Please visit Arenal Bungee for further information
