Experiential tourism allows people to actively and meaningfully engage with a place’s history, people, culture, food, and environment.
I recently journeyed to the Brazilian Amazon and experienced three days immersed in the environment and culture with the help of Wellington, my interpretive guide. I hope this blog post inspires others to take similar experiential journeys. I believe that not only are they more memorable for travellers but they also encourage the tourism sector to be more sustainable.
Manaus is the capital of Brazil’s Amazonas state and the gateway to the Amazon River and rainforest. Approaching by plane is an emotional experience as you glimpse lush rainforests, the start of the famous river, and the Rio Negro. Upon arrival you notice as you leave the airport the density and diversity of the forest that surrounds the city.
