October 2016

Once again, as the summer season ends, we launch a new edition of the now traditional Travel Photography and Video Competition which organizes Viajes Tuareg.

And this year we want it to be better, with more participants, more photos and more films or videos than ever before.

So we've changed some details of how it works, and above all, we're going to give more prizes to distribute among all of you who participate by sending and sharing your vision of the world. Have you already sent your photos and videos?

A hundred years is no small achievement. The railway line connecting Russia from end to end, the Trans-Siberian Railway, celebrates 100 years since its completion. On 5 October 1916, the final section of Eurasia’s most famous railway was finished. A bridge across the Amur River at Khabarovsk completed the last stretch of the main line of the Trans-Siberian. A bridge whose size earned it the name “Miracle of the Amur” in its day, and the final piece of a monumental engineering project.

One of the most striking and special localities of Benin We found it in the Lake Nokoué, near the coastal city of Cotonou. Above its waters rises the city of Ganvié, displaying a curious architecture and way of life fully adapted to the circumstances.
