The Idea

🌲 Into the Wild is an Erasmus+ adventure project that began in 2023 on the Camino de Santiago, with three editions and over 60 participants so far

🏕️ Edition 04 trades waymarked paths for one forest, Fragas do Eume, the last Atlantic rainforest in continental Europe

📵 No wifi, no agenda, no phones after 9 PM, cooking on fire, sleeping under the stars and getting lost on purpose
