The Bloukrans Bridge is an arch bridge on the N2 highway near Nature's Valley in the Tsitsikamma area of the Garden Route, about 27 km in a straight line east of Plettenberg Bay. It stands 216 m above the Bloukrans River, which marks the border between the Western Cape and Eastern Cape provinces. The bridge was built between February 1980 and June 1983 and is 451 m long, with a central span of 272 m. Since 1997 it has been the site of the world's highest commercial bridge bungee jump, launched from a platform beneath the arch. The white concrete arch leaps across a deep gorge lined with dense green forest, and from the viewpoint beside the road you can watch jumpers drop towards the river far below. The Tsitsikamma forest and coast around it are among the most scenic stretches of the Garden Route. Viewing the bridge is free, while the bungee jump is paid, must be booked and has age and weight limits.
