Each year about 300,000 people visit Victoria Falls, located between the countries of Zambia and Zimbabwe. But few experience the waterfall like 28-year-old professional Cliff Diver Jonathan Paredes, of Mexico City, did one December afternoon, when he hurled himself from a 100-foot bluff into the waters below. More than a mile wide and 354 feet high at points, the waterfall, the world’s largest, spans the Zimbabwe River and is generally too dangerous for even the most experienced divers. But Paredes decided to give it a go—though not without a considerable amount of trepidation. In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies
“I was so scared,” he recalls about when he reached the crag and prepared to jump. “But at the same time, I was just astonished, because I was diving in one of the most beautiful places. It was just surreal.” Once steady, Paredes flipped into the water, traveling at some 53 miles per hour, and landed smoothly feet first.
