View of 516 Arouca Bridge

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's now 4 years old, but the infrastructure hasn't developed any further, except for the snack bar when it opened... The toilets... They've seen better days. The rangers have to stand outside whatever the weather (it rained when we were there) and check that everyone has a valid ticket.

After the forest fires on September 24, only the bridge is still open. Hopefully the repairs will go quickly.

One of the slightly larger rapids in the Rio Paiva. With the kayak certainly an impressive experience.
