Join a 1-day tour from Porto to Arouca, crossing the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge, the "516 Arouca Bridge." Hike along the Paiva Walkways to explore the beauty of the Paiva River and gorge, and experience the thrill of crossing the 516 Arouca Bridge. Along the way, learn about local culture from your guide. Departing from Porto, you'll drive through the Portuguese countryside with a brief stop in Arouca, where you'll have the chance to discover more about this charming town, including a tasting of traditional local sweets. Arrive at Areinho, enter the Paiva Walkways, and climb approximately 300 steps to reach the incredible 516 Arouca Bridge, suspended about 175 meters above the Paiva River. As you cross this breathtaking bridge, admire the views of the Aguieiras Waterfall and the Paiva River. Continue your journey along the Paiva Walkways, which follow the river's flow. Walk at your own pace, enjoy the lush vegetation, and try to spot wildlife such as birds.
Take a relaxing break at Praia do Furado during your hike, then continue on to Espinho where the trek concludes. From Espinho, head to a restaurant in Alvarenga to savor "Arouquesa" PDO beef and the famous "vinho verde" (other non-meat options are also available).
