About this experience

Explore Nature in its Purest State at the 516 Arouca Bridge and Paiva Walkways

Come and discover one of the most incredible and untouched settings in northern Portugal with our guided tour of the imposing 516 Arouca Bridge and the Paiva Walkways route. A unique adventure where nature and excitement go hand in hand, accompanied by a local guide who knows every detail of this magical place.

Crossing the 516 Arouca Suspension Bridge
Prepare yourself for a breathtaking experience as you cross one of the largest pedestrian suspension bridges in the world. Walking at a height of 175 metres, with the Paiva river far below and a breathtaking landscape all around you, is a moment you will hardly forget.

Hiking along the Paiva Walkways
Let yourself be guided along wooden trails that wind around the river and reveal wild, surprising landscapes. During the tour, the guide will share stories and curiosities about the local geology, fauna and flora — enriching every step of the walk.

Stop at Vau River Beach
Halfway along the route, we will take a well-earned break at the peaceful Vau Beach. Take the opportunity to rest, dip your feet in the water, enjoy a light snack and savour the tranquillity of the surroundings.

Viewpoints, Waterfalls and Nature in Abundance
Along the way, stop at the natural viewpoints to take incredible photos. Admire the waterfalls, dramatic cliffs and forests that accompany the river – it is nature in its purest state.
