A field trip to the 516 Arouca suspended bridge in Arouca is being planned. The 516 Arouca suspended bridge is located in the eastern part of Arouca UNESCO Global Geopark (Geological Heritage of Humanity), in the Paiva valley, near Paiva Walkways (Passadiços do Paiva). In the surroundings you can see Aguieiras waterfall, Paiva Walkways, Alvarenga Bridge, Paiva Gorge. Nearby you have Areinho and Vau river beaches, and the villages of Alvarenga, Canelas and Espiunca. The Paiva Walkways are visible across the bridge and showcase their natural beauty along approximately 8 kilometers on the left bank of the Paiva River. On this visit, you will have the opportunity to see this impressive infrastructure and likely walk part of it. The Paiva Walkways has become a tourist attraction of international significance, consolidating the Arouca UNESCO Global Geopark as a unique nature destination in Northern Portugal, now complemented with the 516 Arouca, one of the largest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world.
Serralves Park occupies a total area of 18 hectares and is composed of a wide diversity of magnificent, harmoniously interconnected spaces: formal gardens, woodlands and a traditional farmhouse. Designed by the architect, Jacques Gréber, in the 1930s, it is a unique example of landscape heritage in Portugal.
The congress dinner will take place in one of the city’s Port wine cellars.
Located along the Douro’s south bank, the historic Port wine cellars offer a taste of Porto’s rich heritage. More than a world-renowned drink, Port wine tells the story of centuries of tradition, craftsmanship, and cultural pride.
