It was a really amazing day. Adrenaline while crossing the bridge, and then 8 km walk among beautiful nature, and the sound of the mountain river. Then a delicious lunch (traditional Portuguese dishes). The rest of the day program was also very interesting. I also have to recommend Norberto’s services. He is a very original figure – a real “renaissance man”.

Norberto is such a great guide. I spent a wonderful day and I recommandé this tour ! The trail and the bridge was awesome, the restaurant was super good (vegetarian option as well) It was raining during the boat but it’s really something to see.
