Red Bull Cliff Diving

The Azores edi­tion of the Red Bull Cliff Diving takes place on the small island across from Vila Franca do Campo. The best ath­letes of the world are brav­ing the waters from a free stand­ing rock turned into a spring­board.  The cliff divers are execut­ing flaw­less somer­saults and oth­er incred­ible feats dur­ing their 27 meters high jump, at the end of which they reach the water with the whoop­ing speed of 85 km / hours. People are watch­ing the com­pet­i­tion from boats anchored nearby. Make sure to reserve your­self a seat on one of these boats if you don’t want to miss out on this breath­tak­ing race.
