Overview
Discover the wonderful scenery on the banks of the Paiva River!
From the steep slopes to the river rapids accentuated by the granite formation, this is the ideal setting for a unique walk.
On this visit you will be able to follow the valley, gorge and openings of the river, calmly on an extension of wooden walkway for approximately 2,5 miles.
After, you will have the opportunity to walk on one of the longest suspension bridges in the world. Bridge 516 crosses the Paiva River at 574 feet suspension, and is implemented over a length of approximately half a mile. A must!
On the next part of the day, we will visit Aveiro - The portuguese Venice! And like the italian one, the best way to visit it, is by boat - the Moliceiros. So, we provide an small boat cruise of 1h for you to discover the charms of the city and it´s channels.
