This is the best day tour from Porto to the Arouca 516 Suspension.
With a very convenient pick-up from central Porto you will head straight to Arouca.
In Arouca there is a brief stop where you are invited to taste the local specialities, enjoy the green area just outside the monastery and to get ready for the connection between Arouca and the 516 Arouca.
Around 20 minutes after departing from Arouca we reach the bridge and the Paiva Walkways!
For the next 3 to 4 hours (depending on the pace of the group, weather conditions, picture times, etc.) you will spend your time crossing the bridge and walking along the Paiva river in a wooden walkway.
After this great hike we follow a mountain road for 15 minutes and have lunch in a family owned restaurant in Alvarenga!
The ride back to Porto will last for around 90 minutes.
Be brave! Join us!

I and my two sons spent a wonderful trip with our driver and Guide Petito. Beautiful views, nice Insider Stories and on the next day we went white water rafting and had a great amount of fun with the same Company Detours and the same wonderful guide! Thank you!!

Die Brücke ist sensationell. Aber die Logistik drumherum ein Desaster. Man findet die Brücke erst gar nicht richtig. Muss dann von weit entfernten Parkplätzen über Stock und Stein ewig Hinlatschen. Dann git's keinerlei Snacks oder Erfrischungen dort. Tickets muss man auch vorab kaufen online. Nach dem strapaziösen Walk über die Brücke fehlen Sitzplätze zum Relaxen. Toiletten habe ich auch nicht gefunden. Die Macher der Brücke hätten sich unbedingt vorab mal Vergleichsprojekte anschauen sollen, z.B. die tolle Brücke bei Sotschi. Dann hätten sie gesehen, wie man's richtig macht!
