Overview

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 metres 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 metres 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
