The Paiva Footbridges are a series of wooden walkways along the Paiva River in Arouca. The walkways are about 8.7 kilometers long, with the construction of another 12 kilometers planned. They were built along the left bank of the Paiva river, in the Douro river basin, between the Espiunca bridge and the Areinho river beach, thus encompassing the area known as the Paiva Gorge, and is one of the elements of the Arouca Geopark. The Passadiços do Paiva looks like a scenario out of a movie.
The Paiva Footbridges were voted as Europe's most innovative tourism project by the World Travel Awards, in the category of Leading Tourism Development Project in Europe, considered the Oscars of Tourism worldwide.
