Hi! Welcome to my profile! I was born in the beautiful town of Amarante (the heart of the Green Wine region) and I am a inveterate traveler. I have been in more than 50 countries so far. I crossed the African continent overland, all the way down on a 4x4, from Morocco to South Africa and have made the longest train journey in the world! I jumped in on a train in Porto, crossed Europe, Siberia, Mongolia, China and arrived in Ho Chi Minh, in Vietnam, where the railway finished. But I did not stop there. I continued traveling through Cambodia, Lao, Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia! I have done volunteer work in Bamako, Mali, with street children, in Uganda, with HIV children, and in Mombasa, Kenya, in an orphanage. I'm the author of the book called "Africa nos Sentidos", where I write about the travel adventures and state about the ins and outs of volunteering! So, I'm someone passionate about people, cultures and gastronomy! And as I love the history, the food and the culture of my own country, being a tourist guide couldn't be more prefect! Therefore, with a relaxed, friendly and warmth attitude, I want to introduce to you the traditions, the landscape, the architectural and heritage diversity, gastronomy and wines, monuments, the history and the hospitality of our people. Feel yourself invited! - I have a Degree in History and International Relations; - I have a Master in Science Politics and International Relations; - Licensed Tour Company by Turismo de Portugal board under license nr. 459/17; - Very experienced traveller; - Deep knowledge of the history of Portugal; - Expert in the Nothern area (restaurants, monuments, culture, traditions, etc.) I do not have any restrictions when it comes to visit monuments. I will go inside with you and explain the history and details.

We leave from Porto at 8AM towards Arouca town where we will stop shortly for bathrooms and for coffee. Get ready for adventure! After a short drive, we will arrive at the Walkways and go across one of the Longest Suspension Bridges of the World - The 516 Arouca! It spans 516m-long (1, 692ft) across the valley and hangs 175m (576ft) above the Paiva river! NOTICE: crossing the bridge is NOT mandatory. You have the option to skip it. Then, you will walk the Paiva Walkways downhill in a total length of 7km over a wooden boardwalk zig-zagging downhill along the left bank of the river. (you also have the option to walk only 3, 5Km and be picked up half-way. You can decide that on the day of the tour) The walk will be followed by another highlight of our day: lunch! A delicious meal is deserved and it will take place at a beautiful typical restaurant! Meat, fish or vegetarian options available. After lunch we'll discover Arouca for a glance about local culture and history including convent sweets tasting!
Pick up in Porto time and set off towards the Arouca Geopark. - Cross the World's longest suspension bridge - the Arouca 516. - Walk the Paiva Walkways boardwalk - The walk is easy and you will walk always downstream over the wooden boardwalk, which makes it very easy. - Traditional lunch experience at a great restaurant. - Convent sweets tasting at Arouca town center. Finish your day back in Porto
