  1. 1. Rural tourism is a form of tourism that is focus in participate in a rural lifestyle, experience traditional activities, learn about a community and It can be a variant of ecotourism.
    2. Accommodation, experience traditional activities, rent a boat, buy souvenirs, local guide service. I would grade the rural accommodation with stars, which operates on a 1 to 3 stars scale. The tourist can participate in special rural events, learning to weave and make crafts, outdoor activities like trekking, observe wildlife and ecotourism.
    3. Yes, I have. I stayed at a campsite, but it didn’t have many features except for “children playing area” and “carps welcome”.
    4. I’ve had experience doing cycling, trekking and weaving, and I’ve seen wonderful landscapes, wildlife, forests and meadows. Also, I would want to experience doing pottery, traditional crafts, visit a watermill and a fishing villages. In Peru, you can find this activities in many regions like Cajamarca, Puno, Cuzco, Iquitos and Huaraz, where you can experience rural lifestyle and learn to weave, make pottery, visit farms and go in excursions, fishing, hiking and many more outdoor activities.
