Life moves fast, and oftentimes our limited vacation days seem to fly by even faster. Slow travel allows you to return from a trip and not feel as though you need a vacation from your vacation. It is all about traveling intentionally, immersing yourself in the culture, recharging, and truly enjoying your experience. Rancho Santana offers a variety of ways for you to travel slowly, embrace local culture, reduce your environmental impact, and experience a rejuvenating vacation.
It can be tempting to try to fit as many activities and sights into one trip; after all, you want to see and experience as much as you can on your trip. Doing so often leaves us exhausted and unable to truly enjoy ourselves and live in the moment. Slow travel is the antithesis to this common travel practice. It is all about focusing on quality experiences and immersing yourself in the environment and culture of your travel destination.
Slow travel shifts the focus from overpacking an itinerary to taking time to connect with your destination in a more meaningful way. This can be accomplished in many ways — staying in one place longer, engaging and learning from local communities, or immersing yourself in cultural and nature-based experiences.
Sustainable travel has gained popularity over recent years, with Nicaragua making leaps and bounds in their efforts. It is defined by the UN Environment Program and UN World Tourism Organization as “tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities.”
This eco-conscious way of travel minimizes environmental impacts through reducing unnecessary travel, supporting local economies, and ensuring historical and local environmental sites are not damaged and overcrowded.
