Paiva Walkways & Arouca Suspension Bridge: All-Inclusive!

We leave from Porto at 8AM towards Arouca town where we will stop shortly for bathrooms and for coffee.

Get ready for adventure! After a short drive, we will arrive at the Walkways and go across one of the Longest Suspension Bridges of the World – The 516 Arouca! It spans 516m-long (1,692ft) across the valley and hangs 175m (576ft) above the Paiva river!

Notice: crossing the bridge is not mandatory. You have the option to skip it.

Then, you will walk the Paiva Walkways downhill in a total length of 7km over a wooden boardwalk zig-zagging along the left bank of the river.

Bring a swimsuit! At the halfway point of the trail, you find the Vau beach! Free time will be given to swim on the clean waters of the Paiva river.

Time for lunch! A delicious meal will take place at a typical restaurant! Meat, fish or vegetarian options available.

After lunch we’ll discover Arouca for a glance about local culture and history including: convent sweets tasting related to Arouca Monastery.
