Customs and traditions of our communities. The reflection of cultural and social fusions, which are still alive and proudly shared with local and international visitors. Many of the festivities, traditions, rites and ways of life are maintained from pre-Columbian times. From clothing to expressions of popular art, through belief systems, ways of working and even local cuisine. The communities of the SOSTUR network offer multiple manifestations that keep alive the legacy of their ancestral cultures.
Adventure tourism encompasses any tourism activity that includes two of the following three components: a physical activity, a cultural exchange or interaction, and a sustainable activity in nature . Developed mainly in natural environments that are little altered, of high ecological value and preferably protected. The member communities of the SOSTUR network offer adventures that are less invasive and more beneficial to the environment and its inhabitants. Explore and discover the adventures that Panama has to offer hand in hand with our communities.
Gastronomic tourism has been defined as "visits to food producers, food festivals, restaurants and specific places where thetaste of food and/or the experience oftypical food products are the main reasons for the trip. Along with authentic, traditional and/or innovative culinary experiences, gastronomic tourism may also include other related activities, such as visiting local producers, participating in food festivals, learning about ancestral recipes and attending cooking classes.
Nature-based tourism offers a powerful opportunity to connect to nature and strengthen conservation strategies. Often, nature-based tourism can play an important role as an additional source of biodiversity-based income and reinforces the connection and pride that communities and their visitors feel for their natural environment. Conservation tourism is characterized by travel practices that minimize environmental waste, promote conservation, and educate travelers and communities about the needs of their natural environment.
