We leave from Porto towards Arouca town where we will stop shortly for bathrooms and coffee.

Hallo, ich habe die Tour alleine gemacht und bin begeistert. Alles hat super funktioniert, unser Guide Filip war witzig sympathisch viele Infos, hat sich um alle gekümmert, einfach Klasse! Das traditionelle Essen nach der Wanderung war sehr schmackhaft. Die Tour ist auf jeden Fall weiter zu empfehlen! Arouca Brücke ist Atemberaubend!

The Suspension bridge and the Paiva walkways are incredible. A complimentary meal with wine is a perfect way to end the walk, and Aviero is a nice little town to see before the ride back home. Filipe was our guide and he was awesome. Definitely recommend spending a day on this little journey!
