Salto Fraile (Jumping Priest)

This Priest was at least 65 years old!!!!!

The legend goes that a lovelorn priest jumped from these rocks to commit suicide rather than to face a life of celibacy without his true love. These days men dress up as Priests and jump off the cliff in order to entertain passers by and earn a few Soles in tips. If you ask me its pretty nuts to jump into that rocky mess! And this guy truly was pretty old! But good for him I guess...

  1. Can't believe he jumped in with all his clothes on. Maybe god is looking out for that guy but he sure didn't give him much for brains.

  2. I always thought priests were crazy. This definately proves they are not to be trusted.
