Eight Activities That Will Definitely Raise Your Heart Rate

2. Rafting the Zambezi River in Zambia.

3. Dune-hopping in Natal, Brazil

4. Shark Rodeo at Walker's Cay, Abacos Islands in Bahamas

5. The Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Kentucky.

At Churchill Downs, you can't refrain but yield to the excitement of the Kentucky Derby. When you hear the crowds rumble as the Thoroughbreds thunder down the track, you may readily see why the race is named as "the greatest two minutes in sports."

6. Skiing the Interconnect in Wasatch Range In Utah.

Ski the wilderness in a jaunt that connects five ski resorts Brighton, Park City, Snowbird, Solitude, and Alta. It’s not for bunnies and it offers amazing sceneries and miles of unspoiled powder.

7. Running with the bulls, Pamplona, In Spain.

8. Paragliding Angel Falls in Puerto Ordaz, In Venezuela.

Angel Falls which is 3212 feet tall, is one and a half times higher than the Empire State Building. Try to catch a thermic draft, and your breath, as you paraglide in tandem off the top of the falls you can possibly be scared , but you’re in safety with the instructor leashed to your back.
