Overview

In this tour, the walk difficulty level is Easy/Medium! You`ll walk only 5km and downstream!

Short description: Go across one of the longest suspension bridges of the world and walk the Paiva Walkways trail! Visit one of the highlights of Portugal: Costa Nova, and Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice!

We leave from Porto towards Arouca town where we`ll stop shortly.

After a short drive, we`ll arrive at the Walkways and go across the Suspension Bridge! It spans 516 meters-long across the valley and hangs 175m above the Paiva river!

Then, you`ll walk the Paiva Walkways downhill in a total length of 5km over a wooden boardwalk zig-zagging along the Paiva river.

The walk will be followed by another highlight of our day: lunch! (fish and vegetarian options also available)

After a power nap in the van, we`ll visit Costa Nova and the colourful houses!

Time to enjoy Aveiro! Short walk in the city centre, enjoy some free time and relax on a boat trip to see the charming city through the canals!
