Guided Tour Passadiços do Paiva and Suspension Bridge 516 Arouca

About this experience

A certified local guide will interpret one of the most emblematic natural trails in the north of Portugal, the famous Passadiços do Paiva trail, in the heart of the Arouca Geopark. We will detail all the points of geological interest, without forgetting the aspects of biodiversity (fauna and flora) and the most interesting stories of local culture.

You will feel privileged to make two crossings, at exclusive times, of one of the largest suspension bridges in the world, the 516 Arouca Ponte Suspensa.

We will photograph the entire excursion and, at the end, we will surprise you with a return trip in a 4X4 jeep, through the incredible Paiva valley.
