RURAL EXPERIENCE

 

PARTICIPATORY TOURISM

 

Also known as rural or community tourism, this way of travelling allows visitors to experience intensely the lives of families within the community. These families have been chosen and trained to receive tourists on visits of a few days. Visitors become members of their families and of the community.

The families that welcome visitors are very good hosts, sharing openly the daily tasks of the home, agricultural work and other labour, as well as moments of entertainment, such as typical annual festivals.

The training of these families involves an awareness of the visitors’ security and health, leaving guests to enjoy the local hospitality.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to share unforgettable experiences through participation in the customs and traditions inherited by successive generations since the time of the Incas, little changed by trans-cultural processes.

These communities are located in the south eastern Peruvian Andes, once the site of the most noteworthy pre-Columbian cultures of the American continent.
