Typical tourist vacations and resorts leave something to be desired. Experiential travel at Rancho Santana is a great way to immerse yourself in Nicaragua’s splendor in deep, meaningful ways. Your next vacation should be one that focuses on unique and authentic experiences rooted in stunning natural surroundings and connecting with local culture.
Experiential travel is a type of travel that has been gaining popularity, and for good reason! It’s an approach to travel that does away with conventional tourism and focuses on meaningful interactions with your destination. It is characterized by:
Staying at conventional resorts usually means minimal exposure to the country you’re visiting. A key pillar of experiential travel is authenticity. An authentic trip is achieved through connecting with local communities and cultures by participating in cultural practices and traditions. Engaging and learning from the local communities creates lasting memories and enriches every traveler’s overall view of the world.
Instead of merely observing or visiting high-traffic tourist shops, experiential travel encourages you to meet with and interact meaningfully with locals. By doing so, you learn about the region’s traditions and the daily lives of the locals. Understanding a city’s people allows travelers to experience a more impactful world exploration.
Understanding a place’s people allows travelers to explore the world more impactfully. Through experiential travel, you’ll gain a new perspective that can lead to impactful personal growth and self-discovery.
Sustainable travel is at the forefront of responsible tourism and a pillar of experiential travel. By traveling with intention, you can minimize your environmental impact and support local communities.
