Leap from a 10‑metre climbing tower at Parque Aventura Cova da Baleiat; this guide lays out what to expect, timing, and participant limits.
Salto Pendular: a 10‑metre pendulum leap — the bungee precursor in Ericeira.
Salto Pendular is a straightforward, adrenaline-first ropes‑course element: jump from a 10‑metre climbing tower, hang on a single rope and swing freely in a pendulum motion — described by the operator as an antecedent to the bungee jump.
Highlights
Outing Highlights
A compact, high‑intensity pendulum
The core of Salto Pendular is a single, controlled free fall from ten metres that converts vertical drop into a sweeping pendulum swing — a concise adrenaline hit before any bungee experience.
Ten metres from the tower
Participants leap from a dedicated climbing tower set to a height of 10 metres and are suspended on a rope to execute the pendulum motion.
Age note and activity context
The operator positions Salto Pendular as an antecedent to bungee jumping and indicates an age guidance of 12+.
What the day feels like
What the jump feels like
The sequence is compact and focused: a short window of preparation, the psychological step into empty air from a 10‑metre tower, then the instant transition into a pendulum swing while secured to a single rope — a brief, intense experience rather than a prolonged course.

Who it's for
