Aqua and agrotourism typically occur on farms (land or sea) and offer travelers an opportunity to experience rural life, taste local food, and become familiar with the various farming practices and processes required to bring food from the land/sea to table. The Gaspésie is an ideal "foodie" destination with many potential experiences to learn cooking techniques or attend food tastings.
