The attraction cost about £2million(₦1Billion) and took around two years to build.



Hidden between rock-strewn Unesco mountains, the bridge, called 516 Arouca, hangs 175 metres (575ft) above the fast-flowing River Paiva.

The attraction cost about 2.3million euros ($2.8 million/£2million) and took around two years to build.

The average person will take five to 10 minutes to complete the walk across the bridge, depending on nerves.

The landscape is calm, but the crossing is not for the faint-hearted.

Held up by steel cables and two massive towers on each side, it wobbles a little with every step.

Hugo Xavier became one of the first people to cross the bridge.

He said: 'I was a little afraid, but it was so worth it'

The bridge opened only to local residents on Thursday, but from Monday, everyone can book a visit.

A stunning aerial view of the 516 Arouca Bridge, which one tour guide described as a breath of fresh air.

Two locals get low down to take in the unique, awe-inspiring structure.

I laugh in Lagos/Ibadan express way. It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than the Nigerian Govt to finish the damned road. Bunch of Fuckers.

I'm sure the 'wobbles' won't be a problem to the cables in the future.
