Congratulations to the Passadiços de Paiva (Paiva Wooden Walkways) in northern Portugal for garnering the "World Travel Awards" for Europe's Leading Tourism Development Project in 2016! I had the privilege of hiking the 9kms wooden walkways perched precariously along the river bank and it was a gloriously breathtaking experience! The Paiva Walkways are located in the Arouca Geopark which is recognized by UNESCO as a Geological World Heritage Site. (at Passadiços Do Paiva)
