More than tourism: building a relationship with place
We Want Green is not a conventional tourist product. It's a way of working with the territory, time and lived cultures. Rooted in Alto Minho, in the far north-west of Portugal, the project looks at landscapes moulded over centuries by human presence, agricultural practices and seasonal rhythms. These are not untouched or idealised places, but inhabited territories where culture, nature and everyday life remain deeply intertwined.
In-depth cultural tourism in Alto Minho
Travelling with us means choosing to stay longer in one place, to move at a human pace, and to accept that understanding a landscape requires time, attention, and sometimes repetition. Deep cultural tourism is not measured by comfort, luxury, or the accelerated pace of leisure, but by openness to encounter, silence, and the unexpected.
Small-scale experiments and attention to detail
The experiences are carefully designed on a small scale. There are no rigid itineraries and no intention to standardise what is, by nature, contextual and relational. Each journey is shaped around a specific place, a particular season, and the people who inhabit that territory.
Living landscapes, not simple tourist scenery
Our work is not based on visiting or consuming experiences. Landscapes are not backdrops, but cultural spaces shaped by labour, memory, and continuity. Sustainability here is not a label, a certification, or a promise of impact; it is an ongoing relationship with places and people, grounded in restraint, prolonged presence, and respect for the limits of each territory.
Attentive, curious and present travellers
We Want Green is not for everyone. It is intended for experienced travellers who seek cultural depth rather than points of interest. For those who bring curiosity, attention, and a willingness to engage with places as they are, not as they are promoted.
A contemporary reflection on the act of travelling
The project forms part of a broader reflection on travelling within the Iberian Peninsula: how to move through territories without extracting from them, how to remain attentive to what already exists, and how to travel in ways that allow continuity rather than rupture
