It was a windy, rainy day, but that just added to the adventure of hiking the Paiva Walkways and crossing the Arouca Suspension Bridge! Our guide was kind, helpful and informative. The provided lunch, after the hike, in a local restaurant was delicious, and well earned! The sweets from the bakeshop were fun to try, and the monestary was beautiful.

Excellent. Joao was an excellent guide, day was packed commentary while we were driving, suspension bridge was the reason I booked this trip but the hike and swim ( I chose to stay back at the Indiana Jones bridge to dip in the water rather than walk the rest of the way) was great and the highlight was the traditional Portuguese lunch with wine. It really rounded off the trip.

The suspension bridge and Paiva walkway is beautiful and a nice break from city sight seeing. Luis, our guide talked about the history of Portugal on the ride over. The walk is about 7km (all downhill) so wear good walking shoes, with a tasty veal lunch to follow. In the afternoon, we visited the monastery in Arouca with sweets and coffee afterwards. It was a fun day and would definitely recommend.
