- **Os Passadiços do Paiva**
- Com uma extensão de 8,7 km, os Passadiços do Paiva são um percurso em madeira que acompanha as encostas do desfiladeiro escarpado do rio Paiva. Inseridos no Arouca UNESCO Global Geopark, no norte de Portugal (a cerca de 75 km do Porto), este trilho é conhecido pelas suas paisagens impressionantes e já foi distinguido dez vezes nos World Travel Awards — um verdadeiro reconhecimento internacional da sua beleza e singularidade.
- **A Ponte 516 Arouca**
- A 516 Arouca é uma das maiores pontes pedonais suspensas do mundo, com 516 metros de comprimento e 175 metros de altura. Sustentada por cabos de aço, num estilo inspirado nas pontes tibetanas, esta obra-prima da engenharia liga as margens do desfiladeiro do rio Paiva, atravessando a belíssima Cascata das Aguieiras. É uma experiência para quem gosta de desafios e vistas vertiginosas!
- **A Visita Guiada**
- A experiência começa na aldeia de Alvarenga, onde será recebido pelo guia local. Após uma breve explicação sobre o Geopark de Arouca e algumas instruções de segurança, seguimos a pé pelos antigos trilhos da aldeia rumo à imponente Ponte 516. A travessia é de cortar a respiração — literalmente parece que estamos a caminhar pelo céu, rodeados por paisagens selvagens e deslumbrantes.
- Mas se a altura não for o seu forte, não se preocupe — temos disponível, sem custo adicional, transporte 4x4 até à outra margem.
- Depois da ponte, entramos nos Passadiços do Paiva. Ao longo do caminho, o guia irá partilhar consigo os melhores pontos para fotografias, curiosidades sobre a biodiversidade local e os segredos escondidos entre falésias, cascatas e escadarias em zigue-zague. A meio do percurso, faremos uma pausa na Praia Fluvial do Vau para petiscar, relaxar e, em dias quentes, quem sabe, dar um mergulho — por isso, não se esqueça do fato de banho!
- A partir daí, o trilho aproxima-se do leito do rio, oferecendo uma perspetiva única sobre as corredeiras — uma zona também conhecida pelos amantes do rafting.
- **Transporte a Partir do Porto**
- O passeio inclui transporte confortável desde o centro do Porto até à serra de Arouca, com um motorista profissional. A viagem demora cerca de uma hora e é feita numa van moderna com todas as comodidades.
- **Almoço Típico**
- Se escolher a opção com almoço incluído, no final da caminhada será servido um almoço tradicional num restaurante junto ao rio. Poderá escolher entre vários pratos regionais, acompanhados por uma bebida à sua escolha (vinho incluído). Estão também disponíveis opções vegetarianas e vegan — é só avisar com antecedência!
