December 2014

Looking for a photo that would express what it feels like to travel, we found this one of our collaborator J.C. Casado.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS, EVERYONE!

We're moving on with our photo and video contest 2014. If you have travelled with us during 2014, you can take part by sending your images to concurso@tuareg.com 

As every year, the images are spectacular. Here are some of the photographs entered in this year’s competition that we are sure you will enjoy.

Zimbabwe or Zimbabue? Kirguistán or Kyrgyzstan? Thailandia or Tailandia?

It is not always easy to decide how to spell our next destination. On one of our standout trips for 2015, Northern Lights and a Total Solar Eclipse in the islands Faroe, We thought the right name was Faroe.

We have posted a simple survey on Facebook to hear your views: http://goo.gl/5k2lyT

Last Wednesday, December 10, Isidoro Medino published in the newspaper El País a list of the 10 “super destinations” for 2015.

Among the international “super destinations”, Isidoro highlights our trip to the Faroe Islands, departing on 17 March. The main aim of this astronomy trip is to observe the northern lights and the total solar eclipse, whose path crosses the Arctic Circle this year. This coincidence will allow us to see two of the most impressive natural phenomena visible from Earth on a single trip.

As well as this trip, which is undoubtedly one of our favourites for 2015, the list highlights Andes, Australia, Bhutan and Ethiopia.

In the Andes, Isidoro highlights the Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, Cotopaxi volcano in Ecuador and the Atacama desert in Chile. Follow the links to see the routes we are offering for 2015.
Australia is another leading destination, alongside the South Pacific islands, thanks to the recent airline alliance. Our itineraries in Australia are flexible, with highlights including the motorhome rental to travel at your own pace.

Another highlight is Bhutan. With Buddhist monasteries hanging from the cliffs, this small Himalayan mountain country always seems to welcome the visitor with a smile.
And last but not least, Ethiopia, another of our favourite destinations. The depression of Danakil, the volcano Erta Ale, villages of the Omo Valley  or Axum, where they say the Ark of the Covenant is located. Few countries concentrate as much magic and diversity as Ethiopia, one of the most distinctive countries in Africa.

Isidoro also selects 5 domestic destinations with ideas to suit every taste. Cáceres as a food destination. Malaga, as a cultural destination with the opening of the Russian art gallery and the Pompidou museum. Ávila and the celebration of the 5th centenary of the birth of Teresa of Jesus. Seville, in the fifth season of “Game of Thrones” and Barcelona, as a city of design.
