Healthy habits and behaviors, and good quality of life practices are interconnected with the cultural dimension. Interculturality adopts the perspective of not superimposing one culture on another, but finding a way for all cultures to live together in society. This study reflects on intercultural education in nursing care based on the elaboration of an academic portfolio. A descriptive experience report was conducted on the use of reflective portfolio as an active teaching-learning methodology. Results are described according to the theme addressed in the portfolio and which show in-depth reflections developed during graduation on the different stages of human life, considering the health of men, women, newborns, children and adolescents. These discussions draw on interculturality, favoring dialogue between individuals from different socio-cultural groups, proposing interrelationship and not domination. When used in a healthcare scenario, the portfolio should be considered a moment to construct care and deconstruct myths. Looking at nursing under the prism of interculturality should be encouraged, since an intercultural approach is always an in-depth view of the relations between nursing/health and the different phases of comprehensive care, which excels in providing efficient, ethical, and humanized care.
