«When elephants fight, it is grass that suffers»
– African proverb
With this African proverb today we want to join the celebration of the International Day of the African Child, and of girls too. We know we are all a little tired of “days of...» but here is our small tribute, because we love Africa and supporting their children means investing in their future.
Near the city of Siem Reap, in Cambodia, is the sacred city of Angkor, a region that was the heart of the Khmer Empire. Its temples were long engulfed by the relentless advance of the jungle (except Angkor Wat), now stand tall, offering spectacular views.
Angkor It currently has 910 temples, making it a major site of historical and cultural interest. It is therefore an essential stop on our Asian routes, naturally those through Cambodia, but sometimes also those through neighbouring Vietnam or Thailand.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River or Grand Canyon in English, is one of the iconic places you can visit in United States. Created by the channel of Colorado River over millions of years, the Canyon gives us spectacular views, as well as a wide variety of mountain ranges, cliffs and Hiking trails which we can enjoy inside the park. While there are many ways to get to know it from various viewpoints, in Viajes Tuareg we prefer to explore its routes and trails.
Since many of us are used to discover the world always with company, to set off for travel alone It's a adventure which often presents a challenge. But did you know that 4 out of 10 people travelling in our groups join us on their own? Travelling on your own has many advantages. We know this, which is why we offer the opportunity to travelling solo as part of a small group people, who often also travel independently, without a partner, friends or any ties.
On 1 September 2016 there will be a annular eclipse in Madagascar, and we won’t miss it. Viajes Tuareg will be there, just as we travelled to the last eclipse in Indonesia and others before it. We like to be in the best place to witness the effects of celestial bodies coming into perfect alignment.
From eclipse in Indonesia we vividly remember a spectacular photograph by our contributor J. C. Casado and spread across half the internet and beyond.
For several years, we have seen places in Africa offering visitors the seemingly appealing activity of walking “accompanied” by impressive lions. Walking with lions they called it, and at first glance, who wouldn’t sign up for such an experience?
