conquered the Portuguese travelers while also became an International attraction due to their wild charm and the 8 km of constant discovery, on its suspended boards that serpent the escarpment on the left riverside. Once only known mainly by locals and extreme mountain sports fans, this gorgeous river landscape in the heart of the forest is now open to be discovered by everyone.<\/p><p>Just 7 km away from <em>Cimo da Vinha<\/em> (Espiunca entrance) and one hour drive from Oporto, the enchanted atmosphere of the Walkways transports the visitors to a new sensory dimension of total immersion in the wild.<\/p><p>Awarded by the <em>World Travel Awards<\/em>, its opening created such a <em>buzz<\/em> that 200.000 people have visited the attraction in the inaugural two and a half months. Since then, measures have been taken &#8211; such as the daily limit on visitors &#8211; to minimize the impact on the ecosystem.<\/p><p>Due to the engineering magnitude of the entire project, the Walkways have also been featured on worlwide relevant architecture publications and websites such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gessato.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gessato<\/a>, where it is concluded that \u201cthe walkways are made of solid wood and preserve the integrity of the area, while minimizing their impact on the natural

All of this between the two gorgeous river sand beaches of Espiunca and Areinho. In the middle of the course you can rest in the sands and take a dive at Vau beach where there is also a small waterfall and a suspended bridge, to the other side of the river.

The geology is imposing with quartz crystals, supporting a unique mosaic of fauna and flora. In the region live numerous animal species such as otters, eagles, several kinds of butterflies, hares. foxes, newts and salamanders, hedgehogs and beautiful birds like cuckoos, jays, blackbirds and kingfishers.

at Vau beach &#8211; to cool off in the river and contemplate the tranquility of the shade of this river sand.<\/p>\n<p>Most visitors choose to take the Walkways in one direction only, so if you leave your car at one end, at the end you can take one of the many taxis or transfers that are always available.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e20d043 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e20d043\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-00bfafa\" data-id=\"00bfafa\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd3df81 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fd3df81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cimodavinha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/altitude-e-altimetria-passadicos-do-paiva.png\" title=\"altitude-e-altimetria-passadicos-do-paiva.png\" alt=\"altitude-e-altimetria-passadicos-do-paiva.png\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Altimetry of the Paiva Walkways by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vagamundos.pt\/visitar-passadicos-do-paiva-arouca\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Vagamundos.pt<\/a><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8bcb189 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8bcb189\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c70b484\" data-id=\"c70b484\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e986552 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e986552\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-medium\">Accessibility: Who is it suitable for?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-b0b2610 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"b0b2610\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3bf5704\" data-id=\"3bf5704\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b45838c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b45838c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Anyone can walk along the Paiva Walkways, as long as they respect the safety rules and conduct indicated at the ends, in Espiunca and Areinho.

Enjoy the rest of the afternoon in Nature and visit some parts of the Arouca Geopark (part of the UNESCO network) and Serra da Freita. In the late afternoon, head to the picturesque Historic Center where you can still catch a glimpse of the Arouca Monastery, an important monument dating back to the 12th century. Arouca is famous for its traditional gastronomy, so end your visit with dinner in one of the many typical restaurants that serve the famous Posta Arouquesa.<\/p><p>For more detailed information read our article <a href=\"https:\/\/cimodavinha.pt\/en\/what-to-do-and-visit-in-arouca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What to Visit and Do in Arouca<\/a>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-8eb8600 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"8eb8600\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-979c470\" data-id=\"979c470\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de2d7b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"de2d7b8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cimodavinha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/mapa-infografico-o-que-fazer-e-visitar-em-arouca-monumentos-atracoes-turisticas-passadicos-do-paiva-geopark-1-1.jpg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 Cimo da Vinha 2025<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-61faf22 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"61faf22\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2358dcb\" data-id=\"2358dcb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d3fdcf6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d3fdcf6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>cover photo \u00a9 C\u00e2mara Municipal de Arouca<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f1cf16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1f1cf16\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\r\n  \"@type\": \"Article\",\r\n  \"mainEntityOfPage\": {\r\n    \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\r\n    \"@id\": \"https:\/\/cimodavinha.pt\/en\/paiva-walkways\/\"\r\n  },\r\n  \"headline\": \"Paiva Walkways and 516 Arouca bridge\",\r\n  \"description\": \"Everything about the Paiva Walkways and Arouca 516 Bridge | UPDATE 2024\",\r\n  \"image\": {\r\n    \"@type\": \"ImageObject\",\r\n    \"url\": \"https:\/\/cimodavinha.pt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/BANNER-passadicos2.jpg\",\r\n    \"width\": \"\",\r\n    \"height\": \"\"\r\n  },\r\n  \"author\": {\r\n    \"@type\": \"Organization\",\r\n    \"name\": \"Cimo da Vinha -
