More about 516 Arouca Bridge & Passadiços do Paiva One-day Nature Tour
Starting from Porto, this guided day trip takes you through the Portuguese countryside to discover two of the region’s most remarkable attractions, the 516 Arouca Suspension Bridge and the Paiva Walkways. Begin your adventure in Arouca, a charming town known for its traditional sweets, before heading to Areinho, where the hike starts with a climb of around 300 steps leading to the world-famous suspension bridge. Elevated 175 meters above the Paiva River, the bridge offers breathtaking views of the Aguieira Waterfall and surrounding landscapes. Continue along the eight-kilometer Paiva Walkways, following the river through untouched nature at your own pace, with a chance to relax at Vau beach. The experience concludes in Alvarenga with a delicious meal featuring the renowned Arouquesa DPO beef, before returning comfortably to Porto with your local guide
