Enjoying nature through the activities offered by the rural companies that work in the territory also means taking part in the protection of the environment and in its sustainable development. These small companies, generally family businesses, are the paradigm of sustainable tourism, because their professionals are the ones who know best about the area, its opportunities and its main threats. These people from rural places have turned their lifestyle into a singular tourist activity to help you discover everything you can in a totally safe and respectful way.
The value of the rural companies lies in their specialisation and in their capacity to offer you customized experiences adapted to your group, whatever your age, your physical condition and the length of your stay. Depending on your destination, you will be offered activities in the air, on the snow or in the water; health and wellness experiences; gastronomic and cultural delicacies; as well as exclusive hikes, cycling routes and discovery activities in the heart of nature. You won’t have to bring anything, as all the material you need is provided. Just feel the privilege of enjoying the spots in small groups led by real experts.
Apart from enjoying customized experiences in all their intensity, your ecotourist experience will also help to maintain life in rural areas of Catalonia, generally affected by depopulation due to the lack of job and business opportunities. This is why the companies create activities that, apart from offering emotions and new knowledge, help to preserve many villages’ culture and habits and contribute to the socioeconomic development of the rural areas. In addition, the fact of going for experiences in the natural landscapes of Catalonia will allow you to keep away from mass tourism, which is currently very highly valued.
Just follow the recommendations of the local experts, which will host and guide you in an environment they feel like their own and that they know inside out. The active tourist activities you will be part of offer a double value: entertainment and environment conservation.
