So far I have done more than 500 trails in my life, some bring back so many memories, others I treasure because of a quite high level of difficulty! When you do so many hikes you see all kinds of ecosystems and it is difficult to be surprised, however less than 40km from the city of Porto on the outskirts of (Fiães) you will find what is for me one of the top three most impressive trails in Portugal, it is: (Passadiços do Rio Uíma Parque das Ribeiras), an outdoor walk through wooden bridges where you will see more than five types of ecosystems being for me one of the most beautiful I have done so far, enjoy my experience.🌲🌍🚙
Hasta ahora he hecho más de 500 rutas en mi vida, algunas me traen tantos recuerdos, otras las atesoro por su nivel de dificultad bastante alto! Cuando haces tantas caminatas ves todo tipo de ecosistemas y es difícil sorprenderse, sin embargo a menos de 40km de la ciudad de Porto en las afueras de (Fiães) encontrarás lo que para mí es uno de los tres mejores senderos más impresionantes de Portugal, se trata de: (Passadiços do Rio Uíma Parque das Ribeiras), un paseo al aire libre por puentes de madera donde verás más de cinco tipos de ecosistemas siendo para mí uno de los más bonitos que he hecho hasta ahora, disfruta de mi experiencia.🏔️🧭🚩

The Douro River is the main tributary of the northern area of Porto, forming secondary rivers in many cities and villages. Uíma is the name of the river that is irrigated by the Douro and which accompanies us almost throughout the entire route of the trail, creating a great variety of ecosystems and landscapes that you do not commonly see there. The wooden walkways are created to give the best field of vision and to better enjoy nature, and we can find some bird watching posts.🌄🌍
El rio Douro es el principal afluente de la zona norte de Porto formando rios secundarios en muchas ciudades y aldeas, Uíma es el nombre del Rio que es irrigado por el Douro y el cual nos acompana en casi todo el trayecto del sendero creando una gran variedad de ecosistemas y paisajes que no ves comunmente por alli, las pasarelas de madera estan creadas para dar el mejor campo de vision y disfrutar mejor la naturaleza, podemos encontrar algunos puesto de observacion de aves.🌲🌷🍄
14km of walkways🌍🌄🗺️/14km de pasarelas🧭🌲
an unmissable experience🏕️⛺
I am a believer in the more natural and unartificial the place I visit, the more comfortable I feel and the more I enjoy nature. However, the parish thought well of building these wooden bridges to allow nature to grow under our feet and not step directly on the plants, and that is well thought out! In addition, the wooden walkways allow people with limited mobility or without experience in hard walks to enjoy the trail, including children, since at certain kilometers the path has an exit.🌍🌲
Soy partidario de mientras mas natural y poco artificial es el lugar que visito me siento mas comodo y disfruto mas de la naturaleza, sin embargo la freguesia penso bien en construir estos puentes de madera que es para permitir a la naturaleza crecer debajo de nuestros pies y no pisar directamente las plantas y eso es bien pensado! ademas que las pasarelas de madera permiten que personas con poca movilidad o sin experiencia en caminatas duras puedan disfrutar del sendero e incluisive los ninos, ya que a determinados kilometros el camino tiene una salida.📸🌄
Ecosystems🌍🌄🗺️/Ecosistemas🧭🌲
It is an explosion of colors, smells and different textures that we enjoy as we advance along the trail. The river is crucial in creating different microclimates and ecosystems. We can see some swamps where the water stagnates, some lagoons, in some sections of the river we see that the water has a greater speed creating "rapids", we see plants growing completely in the water as if they were mangroves, the change from autumn to winter creates colors in different parts of the forest! There are many species of nocturnal birds and mammals.🌷🌲🌍
Es una explosion de colores, olores y diferentes texturas que vamos disfrutando a medida que vamos avanzando en el sendero, el rio es determinante para crear diferentes microclimas y ecosistemas, podemos ver algunos pantanos donde el agua se estanca, algunas lagunas, algunas secciones del rio vemos que el agua tiene una velocidad mayor creando "rapidos", vemos plantas creciendo completamente dentro del agua como si fueran manglares, el cambio de otono e invierno crean colores en diferentes partes del bosque! hay muchas especies de aves y mamiferos nocturnos.🧭🚩
Lobão Bridge🌍🌄🗺️/Puente de Lobão🧭🌲
The Lobão bridge is a key indicator to position ourselves on the trail map. When we get here we have a reference that we have walked about 3km and that we will reach the Uima river bridge.🌄⛰️
El puente de Lobão es un indicador clave para posicionarnos en el mapa del sendero, cuando llegamos aqui tenemos una referencia que hemos caminado unos 3km y que llegaremos al puente del rio Uima.🚩🌍
Pereirinha village🌍🌄🗺️/Aldea Pereirinha🧭🌲
Pereirinha is a fairly small village with less than 20 houses and all the inhabitants are dedicated to agriculture. We will pass through here and our path becomes a rural landscape but not for long as we will enter the forest again but our next destination will be a Roman bridge.⛰️🌄🧭
Pereirinha es una aldea bastante pequena con menos de 20 casas y todos los pobladores son dedicados a la agricultura, por aqui pasaremos y es cuando nuestro sendero se convierte en un paisaje rural pero no por mucho tiempo ya que entraremos de nuevo al bosque pero nuestro proximo destino sera un puente romano.🗺️🏔️
Next destination Roman bridge🌍🌄🗺️/Proximo destino puente romano 🧭🌲
The landscape is becoming more and more beautiful and we see the aforementioned rapids in the river, this transforms the environment into something magical and we only hear the sound of the river amidst some bird songs. Until now I have enjoyed the trail so much and I have not yet reached the most beautiful part!⛰️⛺
El paisaje cada vez se hace mas bonito y vemos los mencionados rapidos en el rio esto transforma el ambiente en algo magico y solo escuchamos el ruido del rio en medio de algunos cantos de aves, hasta ahora disfrute tanto el sendero y no llego a la parte mas bonita!🚩🌍
Roman bridge from the second century AD👨🏻🏫📸
You already know me and you know that I always bring historical and scientific content in my posts! This for me is one of the highlights of the walk, since it is not every day that we pass over a Roman bridge that is two thousand years old and is still so well preserved. This area was heavily traveled in the 2nd century AD to the north for Spain and to the south for the Algarve, it was a trade route.🌍🌲
Ya me conoceis y sabes que siempre traigo contenido historico y cientifico en mis post! este para mi es uno de los puntos mas fuertes de la caminata, ya que no todos los dias pasamos por encima de un puente Romano con dos mil anos y aun se preserva tan bien, esta zona fue muy transitada en el siglo II despues de Cristo hacia el norte para espana y hacia el sur para algarve, fue una ruta comercial.📸🌄
Halfway along the path🌍🌄🗺️/Mitad del sendero 🧭🌲
The potential of the Fiães river🌍🌄🗺️/El potencial de la ribera Fiães🧭🌲
Now we enter the most beautiful part of the trail where we will see all the ecosystems and they are all marked so we can know and identify each thing that nature shows us. I cannot explain everything because the post would be too long but we will pass through swamps, lakes, rivers.⛰️🌷🌲
Ahora entramos a la parte mas hermosa del sendero donde veremos todos los ecosistemas y todos estan senalizados para nosotros saber e identificar cada cosa que nos muestra la naturaleza, no puedo explicar todo porque el post seria demasiado extenso pero pasaremos por pantanos, lagos, rio.⛺🏔️🗺️
I am one kilometer away from finishing this great adventure, this great experience is simply magical.🌍🚩
