Terramote351
– Meeting Porto “Side B”, the real Porto
Meeting
Porto “Side B” is a project inside the Terrramote351 project that
aims to guide foreigner visitors or inhabitants through the less well
known side of Porto, Porto side B. Therefore it´s not a conventional
touristic tour. It´s a tour focusing on social, ecological, cultural
aspects, in spite of the fact that history is always a very relevant
element.
Discovering
the past, roaming the present and dreaming the future are proposals
contained in this walk by some of the hidden or forgotten treasures
from Porto city. Old rural farms, old nobel houses, city gardens,
sublime panoramic views… and a lot, lot more. Above all, a Tour
that for sure will surprise you at each step.
Terramote351
– Intervention and Eco-Social Tours
Terramote
it’s a pioneer project, arising from Porto city, and it exists to
develop the principals and values of Eco-Social tourism.
It
runs by the promotion and support to activities and intervention
projects, always with the purpose to aware people to the local
realities throughout Eco-Social Tours with historical, cultural and,
above all, Eco-social relevance.
Terramote351
– How? Dynamics
Terramote351
develops through the promotion of various activities and sub-projects
being one of the main reasons the execution of thematic Eco-Social
tours that ally the ludic and recreational, even sportive, formative,
interventional and cultural components.
The
tours work in an informal and familiar way. At the tours people
interact and share: Them experiences, knowledge and visions.
They
also are discovery and adventure tours, where secrets of the urban
and rural spaces are unraveled with all their…plainness.

Note:
the Terramote351/Oporto of Encounters project, is a project with a
really informal and personal nature, and it is still defining itself,
so it’s an activity that it is not covered by any type of
insurance, the participants are responsible for anything that
happens, or, depending on the perspective, the destiny is… ;O) The
contribution is destined to support the various organization costs
and to support the Terramote351 -
Intervention and Eco-Social Tours project
development.
