From Porto: 516 Arouca Bridge and Paiva Walkways Guided Tour
Overview
Start your adventure from Porto with transportation to Arouca. Begin the hike through old village paths. Prepare for the most exciting 516 meters 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, an wooden walkway built along the cliffs of the Paiva River. Halfway through, we will rest at Vau River Beach, on hot days, the river invites you to take a refreshing dip, so bring a swimsuit!
After the walk, treat yourself with a charming stop in the town of Arouca, where you can enjoy a drink and typical meal — a traditional Arouquesa roasted veal with a drink of your choice (wine included!). For those who prefer the vegetarian option, we offer a rich and flavorful vegetable feijoada, served with white rice.
