This paper aims to study the experience of the ecohikers, a group that go on ecological hikes, betting on the cultivation of a spiritual, mental and physical well-being, hikes amidst nature. From the ethnography of the experience of hikers, one aims to investigate the experience of the trails as places full of restoring forces, energetic fluids for the health of body and soul. Based on the theoretical effort of a proposal that seeks, above all, to translate the phenomenology to the anthropological field and thus collapse dichotomies such as mind and body, nature and culture, subject and object, one tries to reflect on the therapeutic character of nature walks, understood by hikers not only as an exercise, but also as a means of access to matters of the soul.
