Full description

Join this us on a visit to Arouca Geopark and discover breathtaking landscapes.

Our knowledgeable guide will pick you up at your accommodation and take you to the beginning point of the pathways where you will start the tour, giving you insights about life in Portugal on the way.

On this tour we will follow the wooden Paiva Walkways which follow the Paiva River for approximately 8 km of magical views and a state of peace possible only amidst nature. 

Walk the most exciting 516 meters of your life! Join us for a unique experience as you cross a 516-meter-long pedestrian bridge (the "516 Arouca Bridge"), suspended 175 meters above one of Europe's most robust rivers: the Paiva River. Witness a true engineering prodigy and be enchanted by the breathtaking landscape that is part of a UNESCO World Geopark.

The 3-hour guided walk will reward you with amazing geological and archaeological sights, camouflaged onto this natural mountain paradise. Take the time to breathe in the fresh air and admire the flora and fauna of the region at its pure state.

Finishing our hike, there is no better way to recharge our energies than to eat a delicious meal. Arouca is also known for its great food, mainly the typical "Posta Arouquesa", a savory piece of grilled beef usually accompanied with French fries, white rice and black beans. After this incredible lunch we're sure you will be fully recharged!

To end the day in the best way we will visit to a local distillery to taste traditional Portuguese liquor, the "Pinguça".

The best of Portugal's natural heritage and gastronomy in one visit!

Thank you Diogo
Starting in Porto with a lot of energy, our walk in Paiva with Diogo has become a fantastic day in nature. The weather was perfect and everyone was very excited! Thank you Diogo for this wonderful day, everything was perfect: the gentle collection directly at the hotel in the morning, the little cafe in Arouca on the way, the walk in the impressive gorge, the rich and delicious lunch (including wine and liquor!)

wow, amazing walk
What a beautiful walk. Glad there were some refreshments halfway through the trip and a lunch at the end of the trip. The tour with Diego was very well organized. From the pick up at the hotel, to the espresso and lunch, to the tour on the river - all top! Breathtaking views, lots of information on local features and always an open ear. Especially the good organization made this trip unforgettable - definitely recommended!
