Practice active tourism
Active tourism is fashionable. The wide variety of activities that this type of tourism encompasses make it a good option for your rural getaway. As active tourism activities you can find: arborism, mountaineering, climbing, caving, cycling, canyoning, kayaking, river rafting, diving, parachuting, hang gliding, hiking, paintball, experiential leisure, buggy or quad routes or segway.
It is difficult that the area where you are going to stay does not have in its surroundings any company that provides this service. It is good that you are interested in knowing the offer beforehand, because many of these companies work under anticipated demand, having to form groups or plan the different days of the week with the personnel they have available.
Ultimately, it is really impossible to find an active tourism company. But you do not need anyone to teach you, hiking on your own can be a very good option. And do not worry about knowing the different hiking routes, because many apps will help you plan your journey. You can make the route that best suits your needs, at your own pace, for free and geolocated through the GPS from your smartphone.
Discover rural gastronom
Is there something more pleasant in this world, than being able to sit at a table to enjoy traditional, healthy dishes, with local products, in quantity and at a good price? Rural gastronomy is usually characterized by being a forceful gastronomy, but don’t worry, you can afford it after the day of active tourism. If we add to this, accompanying the food with local wines or craft beers, the experience becomes at least heavenly. You can take what you learn about food and start cooking it yourself at home!
Visit the town or neighboring towns
In rural areas the concept of Free Tours is difficult to exist because the volume of travelers does not make this type of activity profitable. Maybe you want to do something exciting such as off-roading and in this case you may want to look at Over-the-Road truck driver training so you can learn a new skill!
Make your trip coincide with the town festivals
Making your trip to the countryside coincide with a pilgrimage, a festival or the popular festivals of the town, can greatly increase the positive points of the experience. Everyone loves a little bit of music, but what about food festivals or local dance festivals? Look at the local events before you go and you can really experience something cool; whether it is a hundred miles away or perhaps even on your doorstep!
Live an experience of rural integration
In many rural destinations, there is an offer of activities that go beyond active tourism activities, visiting the town, gastronomy or accommodation. Who said quieter towns or off the map destinations have to be boring? Far from it! So is it time to get active? Absolutely!
