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

Then, you`ll walk the Paiva Walkways downhill in a total length of 5km over a wooden boardwalk zig-zagging along the left bank of the river. Trail Areinho-Vau.

After a power nap in the van, we`ll arrive to Costa Nova! Costa Nova is one of the highlights of Portugal – a beautiful fishing village known for its striped colorful houses!

Time to enjoy Aveiro, also known as the “Portuguese Venice”! Discover the city center on a short walk, enjoy some free time and relax on a boat trip to see the charming city through the canals!

Journée très conviviale en petit groupe de 6 personnes avec un guide très agréable et très intéressant. Très belle randonnée de 9 km le long d’une rivière avec des rapides. Expérience culinaire appréciée à midi (plat du dimanche bien mijoté des grands – mères portugaises). Belle découverte d’Aveiro et agréable balade en bateau. Le petit arrêt à Costa Nova a été appréciable également.

Ultimate experience!
Ricardo was a very attentive and gracious host! The walk across the bridges and on the pathways was
amazing. Authentic lunch and canal boat ride really completed the day. Highly recommend this day trip
to see more of the area!

Ricardo was an excellent tour guide. Thoughtful and knowledgeable as well as a good driver. Would go on a tour with him again, hands down. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun. Thanks, Ricardo!
