Welcome to another edition of the Viajes Tuareg PHOTOGRAPHY and VIDEO COMPETITION!  !!!

Most of the images illustrating our website and trip information sheets come from the competition. We think it is a great way to share the experience with other travellers.

There are currently only 5 active lava lakes on the planet. This December we travelled to the east of Ethiopia to photograph one of them: the Erta Ale.

Salt lakes as white as ice, spectacular volcanic eruptions and black lava flows, lakes and geysers painting the surface in a multitude of colours… This is the Danakil, where temperatures reach 50°.

A total of thirty-nine people, spread over three expeditions, are traveling to Lake Turkana, in the north of Kenya, to observe the solar eclipse taking place on 3 November.

Good luck and clear skies to our eclipse hunters. We will keep you updated!
