A short guide about Camping travel
There is a wide range of Camping holidays available to the more adventurous traveller. Some of these Camping Tours and holidays at Tourabout may refer to the type of accommodation on the holiday and are often combined with other activities, such as hiking, canoeing or cycling. Camping commonly employs an automobile to transport equipment to an established campground; these vehicles used include touring bicycles, boats, and even bush planes, although backpacking and using pack animals are popular alternatives. Vehicles carry all the necessary equipment required for food preparation, as well as tables and camp-stools for your added comfort.
Most campsites consist of permanent canvas tents which means there is no hard work or setting up while on tour. However, the success of the tour relies on the participation of all the travellers to help with food preparation, dish washing, collecting firewood etc. The interactive nature of a Camping holiday is a key component to getting more in touch with the country’s nature and culture. The type of camping accommodation to expect can change for various tours, for example; when staying in the Peruvian Amazon Jungle lodge, accommodation will be in rustic cabins, with only cold water and mosquito nets provided. On Amantani Island, the stay is in basic mud-brick houses and on the Inca Trail or in the Torres del Paine National Park you are provided with a two person tent (as you or a porter will be carrying it).
Tourabout has catalogued many different Camping holidays and Tour options which provide small open age groups that allow you to get up close with nature. Camping’s big focus is on the culture, local environment and participating in chores, ensuring that you feel less of a "tourist" and more of an "explorer". Well-trained local drivers and guides are chosen for their expert knowledge, experience and passion for the region.
