	The present article analyses the transformations of the metaphor of journey in the works of Álvaro
	de Campos in the context of the chronology of his works. In the futurist period, the journey is
	presented as one of the manners of satisfying the desire of feeling everything in every way and at the
	same time, according to the main principle of sensacionismo. In the later poems this attitude is
	substituted by the journey as a metaphor of life, that results in the figure of existential anti-journey,
	a journey without reason and direction, that communicates the idea of the dispersion of the subject. In
	the following phase, the point of reference is not anymore the journey, but the preparations for it,
	which can be considered the figure of the vital activity. In this stage, the journey is the synonym of
	the moment of decision, so the impossibility of its realisation expresses the suspension of the vital
	functions and the incapacity of the subject to perform any action in the real world. The
	transformations of the metaphor of the journey correspond and illustrate the main guidelines of the
	poetry of Álvaro de Campos.
