A five star hotel (by Bolivian standards) isn’t usually a tourist attraction, but Urban Rush Bolivia changes that. The Hotel Presidente in La Paz’s city center has one of the most interesting activities I have ever seen in a city. I didn’t take part, but I enjoyed watching the few people who did, and this activity just adds to the eccentricity of La Paz.

Visitors are given the opportunity to – I’m not making this up – rappel out of the top floor of the hotel wearing a superhero costume. It’s run by Urban Rush Bolivia. It’s possible to book one jump, and if you’re feeling more adventurous you can book two jumps at a discount. Contact Urban Rush directly for their current rates.

Too Chicken?

If you’re not interested in jumping out of a hotel to save La Paz, you’ll be able to see the 2nd tallest mountain in Bolivia), Illimani, and some of the skyscrapers in La Paz.

You’re also able to see the incredible urban sprawl that extends all the way up to the cliff tops, 4,000m above sea level.
