Have you ever visited the wonderful surroundings of the Paiva River? On this tour from Porto, you'll explore its famous walkways and cross the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. Are you ready?

Description

At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Porto and start a 1.5-hour drive to the Arouca Geopark.

Once you reach the destination, you'll begin exploring the Paiva Walkways, an 8 km hike perfect to commune with nature.

You'll traverse the wooden walkways that border the river for three hours. Waterfalls, mountains, passages, gorges, and much more await you. The tour guide will provide information about this unique environment during the walk.

At the end of the hike, we'll enjoy a traditional Portuguese lunch including the famous Arouquesa meat and a Portuguese spirit, the pinguça.
