Overview

Walk in the morning! Difficulty level is easy/medium - a 5km downstream walk! Short description: Go across one of the longest suspension bridges of the world and walk the Paiva Walkways trail! Visit one of the highlights of Portugal: Costa Nova, and Aveiro, the Portuguese Venice! We leave from Porto towards Arouca town where we'll stop shortly for toilets.

Then, you'll walk the Paiva Walkways downhill in a total length of 5km over a wooden boardwalk zig-zagging along the Paiva river. Lunch is another experience! (meat, fish and vegetarian options available) After a power nap in the van, we'll visit Costa Nova and the colorful houses! Time to enjoy Aveiro!
