Start your adventure from Porto with comfortable transport to Arouca. Start the walk along the old village paths. Get ready for the most exciting 516 meters of your life on the 516 Arouca Suspension Bridge, one of the longest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world. Hang suspended from Tibetan-style steel cables, 175 meters above the Paiva River and Cachoeira das Aguieiras.
Follow the Passadiços do Paiva, 8.7 km long wooden walkways built along the cliffs of the Garganta do Rio Paiva. See the famous zigzag staircases, riparian forests, waterfalls and canyon cliffs. Halfway there, take a break at Praia Fluvial do Vau.
Finally, treat yourself to a Charcuterie Board and Typical Portuguese Cheeses (or just Cheeses) and a drink. Then you can choose an Arouquesa Steak Sandwich, Vegan or Arouquesa Beef Burger and Tuna Sandwich, all accompanied by fries (“With Lunch” option). For dessert, try the conventual sweets

I cannot list all the ways this excursion exceeded our expectations so I will just list a few. But first let me say, you need to be in at least decent shape to complete this walking trip without issue. Now, Sergio was awesome. He picked us up our hotel (very convenient) and was so very nice. The trip to the bridge and river walk was beautiful and a bit crazy but Sergio handled the winding mountains roads like a pro. Our guide, John was amazing and very knowledgeable, I believe we were lucky to have him as our guide. The visual thrill of the entire trip, the excitement of crossing the bridge and the overall experience was amazing, a must do. The bridge and river walk were a huge part of the excursion BUT not the only highlights. After, we all had lunch at a beautiful river side restaurant, then we all shared "sweets" in the town of Arouca. Sitting at an outdoor cafe table with international "friends" sharing sweets was an amazing experience. Sergio's kind, enthusiastic personality made the experience all the better. That was a brief explanation of just how amazing this excursion was/is. We highly recommended it.

The drive out to Bridge 516 was good with Paulo. Very informative as was Joao who guided the walk. Spectacular experience crossing the bridge. Was a warm day but he carried plenty of extra water for those who ran out, there was a nice stop mid-way on a riverside beach and a welcome lunch at the end. We had a pleasant half hour for pastries and a drink on the return journey at a lovely town plaza. All in all a good day

We have Daniel driving us from Porto to the suspension bridge and he picked us up from the end of the hike. He also drove us to a small town for sweets. Everything was so well thought of and was executed perfectly. We enjoyed ourselves and is one of the best tour we went. I will highly recommend this tour with this provider.
