Start your adventure from Porto with comfortable 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. Be suspended by Tibetan-style steel cables in the sky, 175 meters above River Paiva and Aguieiras Waterfall.
Set off on the Paiva Walkways, an 8.7 km wooden walkway built along the cliffs of the Paiva River Gorge. See the famous zig-zag staircases, riparian forests, waterfalls, and cliffs of the gorge. Halfway through, take a break at Vau River Beach.
Finally, treat yourself to a Board of Typical Portuguese Charcuterie and Cheese (or only Cheese, if you prefer) and a drink. Then you can choose between Arouquesa Steak Sandwish or Arouquesa Beef Hamburger, Veggie Burger or Tuna Sandwich, all accompanied by crispy french fries (included in the option "With Lunch"). For dessert, taste some ancient conventual pastry.

Really nice and relaxing day out, definitely recommend this tour. Don't forget to treat yourself to well deserved beer and traditional steak sandwich at Bar Recanto Do Paiva

A great hike with great views and a bit of adrenaline. The bridges are spectacular, great plants along the way, cork trees and much more.
It's totally worth it.

I highly recommend booking this. The whole day was fantastic and well organized. The walking and driving guides were fantastic, energetic, and knowledgeable. The suspension bridge and walking trail was truly memorable. The additional stops for lunch and sweets were great. It is a full day and there is lots of walking/stairs (going down mostly). We totaled about 5.5 miles. Again great excursion and good value. Enjoy your trip!!

The whole experience was great!
Ines is a great guide. Her English is very good and she is very knowledgeable regarding the area and culture. She’s very friendly and didn’t mind taking as many photos of us as we wanted! I definitely recommend her! Snacks were good, lunch was great. The whole experience was amazing!

Amazing day trip, best views and walk! Honestly, I was terrified to cross the bridge but managed to afterwards, and the reward was spectacular! The walk path is absolutely stunning! Our guide, Ines was friendly and helpful! Even with a bit of rain from time to time was still the best experience. Absolutely recommended!!!

What a wonderful trip!
To start Sergio came to pick us up in a minibus. A warm welcome that immediately puts you at ease. After an hour and a half on the bus, we arrived and Joao welcomed us and accompanied us to the bridge. Impressive but the view is incredible and definitely worth it!
Then we walked along the canyon, a walk commented by our guide, a biology and environment enthusiast, so funny, who made us wonderful picture.
To finish we ate in the small restaurant at the end of the route, the meat is exceptional, nothing to complain about! We went there with friends and we highly recommend

It was such a great experience. We took the tour from Lisboa. Our driver Sergio was a sweetheart and gave us so much information about Portugal. Then at the suspension bridge, our guide, Ines, was great. She was also very informative and was attentive to all members in our group. She ROCKS!!! Thanks again Ines. We will return to Portugal and will be back in Arouca for this tour

The beauty of the bridge and the Paiva River is stunning. There is a total of 10 km of road behind us, which was not burdensome, especially as we drove in the direction of the meadow. Our driver left and arrived on time, and at the end of the program we also stopped at a cozy pastry shop, where we could taste local delicacies with a good coffee!

Amazing trip and very recommendable! Our guide João knew a lot about the area, and he had many interesting things to tell about the nature, history, and biology. The tour was filled with beautiful views both before and after passing the big bridge, which was such an experience! Our driver Pedro was very pleasant and helpful the whole day through. His driving was pleasant (which is not always a matter of course we’ve learned) so it was much appreciated! He took us to the coffee shop and also made sure we had the time to see the monastery before leaving. Overall 5 out of 5 stars - more if possible. Thank you!
