Intangible heritage and traditions

Find out why we travel through the intangible and living heritage

A heritage that grows, transforms and unites

Unlike monuments and artifacts, which stay the same and which you can touch and see all year long, intangible heritage is dynamic.

It is rooted in the cultural fabric of communities, who own it and evolve it with time, creativity and cultural exchange. It is living heritage.

Connecting to the intangible, the music, the tales, the dances, the recipes, the crafts… is the best way to understand the local culture and communities.

Deciphering signs hidden in plain sight

Intangible heritage is not an easy subject: understanding the dynamic and non-physical aspects of a community’s culture means deciphering the signs that have developed during centuries (and are still evolving now).

That’s why our expeditions are truly local, involving hosts that live there, invest there and are part of the culture they are introducing us to.

Dare to connect with the true changemakers.

Trips to unlock the roots and soul

As explorers we all seek for uniqueness and distinctiveness when we travel.

But we have seen too many times how some destinations squash what makes them unique due to tourist pressure and push their locals away: more travelers, more standarization, less soul.

Preserving local culture and fostering its growth is crucial for maintaining the distinctiveness and resilience of communities. That’s why our trips have been designed to connect you with the intangible, conect you with the soul of the destination.
