12. Royal Gorge (Colorado, USA):Spanning 300m across the Royal Gorge, the bridge held the title of the world’s highest for over 70 years (from 1929-2001). If walking across the 1,292 wooden planks that make up the bridge isn’t impressive enough, visitors can also sign up for a bungee jump. |

13. Iya Valley Vine (Japan):Nestled deep in a mountain forest, the 900-year-old bridge is made entirely of wood and woven vines. It has recently been reinforced and handrails added to reduce the danger. |
