Quirky trips: Zip lining between Spain and Portugal

Now, you can glide between Spain and Portugal on a zip line. As quirky as that reads, the said zip line is the world’s first international zip line. This one is quite aptly named as Limite Zero, for you are as close to no limits as you can be on this. It will have you gliding between the two countries, covering over 720 m while swooping over River Guadiana! This river divides the two countries and has villages named Alcoutim and Sanlúcar de Guadiana on its sides.

The whole experience takes around an hour, with over 40 minutes of zip lining. If you are not scared of heights and the river rushing below, this one clearly deserves a place in your bucket list. You need to be at least 14 years of age, or you will be barred from this adventure. Another factor that might stop you from this adventure of a lifetime is the weight limit, as anyone over 140 kg is not allowed to get on the zip line due to safety measures; all the more reasons to strike those extra calories off!
If the idea of zip lining from Spain to Portugal has you wooed, do remember that anyone under 16 years of age needs to have a parent or guardian to receive them in Portugal once the adventure ends! So yes, do bring the adults in your house along if you are that young. Other than these conditions, you can stay assured about the safety measures here. A trained group of experts guides travellers throughout the experience and stays in touch even while you are on the line. You will also be glad to know that Limite Zero has all its security measures certified.
