Overview

Start your adventure from Porto with transport to Arouca. Begin the hike through old village paths. Prepare for the most exciting 516 metres of your life on the 516 Arouca Suspension Bridge, one of the longest suspension pedestrian bridges in the world.

Set off on the Paiva Walkways, a wooden walkway built along the cliffs of the Paiva River. Attention: On the recent forest fires that have affected Portugal, a small portion of the Paiva Walkways was affected, meaning some small changes on the activity. After the bridge you will be transported to the Vau River Beach. From here to the end of the trail, see the riparian forests, and feel the strength of the rapids through their roaring sounds.

Treat yourself to a Board of Typical Portuguese Charcuterie and Cheese and a drink. Then you can choose between Arouquesa Steak Sandwish, Arouquesa Beef Hamburger, Veggie Burger or Tuna Sandwich (included in the option “With Lunch”). For dessert, taste some ancient conventual pastry.
