The Barranco do Demo Boardwalk is a spectacular wooden walkway near Alferce in the Algarve, featuring a 50-meter-long suspension bridge spanning a deep gorge. The route is approximately 1 km long and is part of a larger 6 km walk around the village. The path offers impressive views, but also includes many steps and elevation changes, making it somewhat challenging. It has been open since 2023 and attracts many visitors.

In summer 2023, a new wooden walkway with stairs and a suspension bridge was built to make this beautiful valley and great views accessible even for hikers who are not sure-footed.
In summer, only recommended in the morning or evening hours - down in the valley it can be calm and very hot. Please always take something to drink with you. In the northern section there are approx. 213 (possibly +13) steps, in the southern section approx. 352 steps - a total of just over 1100 there and back. Access in the north behind the cemetery (tarmac road), in the south at the starting point of this tour recording (gravel road, only a few parking spaces).
