With a surge of energy to start the day, we’ll pick you up in Porto and head for the Paiva Walkways. Here, you’ll encounter the second LONGEST SUSPENSION FOOTBRIDGE in the world!
The Arouca 516 walkway stretches a whopping 516m (1,692 ft) across the valley, dangling 175m (576 ft) above the Paiva River. The pathway is an open metal mesh grid, challenging your bravery!
The Paiva Walkways, awarded by the World Travel Awards, stand among the most exquisite hiking trails globally. You’ll navigate a 7km wooden pathway that winds down along Paiva River’s left bank at Arouca Unesco Geopark. (The pathway is descending)
The day would be incomplete without a wonderful lunch: savour clay pot roasted veal at a local restaurant adorned with panoramic views (fish and vegetarian meals also on the menu)
Post-lunch, we’ll explore Arouca’s local culture and history, including a visit to Arouca Monastery and a taste of their famed sweets.
To conclude, we head back to Porto.
