Just wow... The tour guide from there explains to the tourist how the bridge was build which is very interesting. The construction is massive, was very impressed... It looks even more amazing in reality. Totally recommend if you visit Portugal to make a stop here. Be careful that you need a reservation! Afterwards it's a must to stop in Arouca and have some delicious desserts. The town is quite small but very fancy and the people sooo sooo friendly, I loved it
A great experience in the interior of Portugal. Enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view like walking on air through the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge. The staff will provide with insightful information and trivia and you'll also be able to enjoy the popular trailhead next to it (Passadiços do Paiva).
There is so much to see and do here. The hikes are incredible and cater to anything from beginner/easy to hard/difficult and all at various lengths. There are innumerable geologic features and sporting activities available, plus just great nature drives. The park is fantastic for all ages.
