We are happy to announce that Viajes Tuareg is already a member of Barcelona + Sustainable (B+S). B+S is a Barcelona City Council initiative bringing together organisations, businesses and educational centres committed to sustainability, with the aim of build a city that shows greater respect for people and the environment.
The current situation is difficult for everyone, especially travellers who never want to stop discovering, exploring and learning. To help you pass the time, we suggest some so many places to visit without leaving home. Of course it will not be the same, but desperate times call for creative solutions. Some museums, monuments and attractions already offer virtual tours.
If there is one thing every traveller will agree on, it is that the world around us is wonderful. Having seen its beauty, we also understand the importance of preserving it. But no one is born knowing everything, and it can be hard to know how to help conserve our planet. So we begin with “There is no planet B«, a series of publications in which we will try to give advice on actions that can help us preserve our wonderful world. Let's start!
Greenland remains one of the wildest and most unexplored territories in the Arctic. In summer the ice formed during the long winter nights melts and allows us access to the fjords, an incomparable natural spectacle formed by the erosion of the great glaciers that existed in the times when these lands were covered with ice.
We have spent a long time on the elimination rounds, looking at your photographs again and again. Sadly, they cannot all go through, and some excellent work is missing from the 22 photographs in the final. Our work ends here: an external jury will now choose the 3 winning photographs. Good luck to everyone!

In the middle of the Atlantic, far from everything, Madeira rises like a mountain of lava and basalt above the ocean. Its interior is extremely rugged, a labyrinth of green ravines traversed by levadas, the ancient channels that distributed water throughout the island.
One of the new developments in Southeast Asia is the redesigned trekking route in northern Thailand, a highlight of our 15-day trip, Bangkok, ethnic minority trekking and southern beaches. Our new trek allows more time in villages deep in the jungle to discover the daily lives of different ethnic groups, followed by a 2-day rafting descent to finish in Baan Sob Kai, where we will visit Elephant Rescue Park.
The medieval splendour of Gondar, the rock-hewn churches of Lalibela and the islands of Lake Tana: Africa’s rich history, carved into unique monuments
Celebrations always help to beautify the places visited. This time, our trip to Ethiopia: single departure on 12 June, will coincide with the distinctive night-time ceremony of the Milhela in Axum and the little-known celebration of anniversary of King Lalibela in a city that bears his name.
Weather permitting, the highlight of the trip will be an annular eclipse that we can observe from Lalibela on the last day.
This legendary route will introduce us, guided by a Spanish-speaking guide with expert knowledge of Tibet, the regions of Yunnan and Sichuan. Two regions of China home to almost half of the country’s ethnic groups, and which for thousands of years enabled the trade of tea carried by the legendary Tibetan horses.
This route presents no particular difficulties, apart from any discomfort caused by the altitude.
2020 begins and we want to remind you that there are still places on many of our routes to travel in February.
We still have places to see the Northern Lights in Finland, something everyone should do at least once in their life, or to cross the Algerian desert in a 4×4, or to see the Great Migration in Tanzania, or to… February offers plenty of options for those looking to travel in the low season, without airport queues or crowds, and with rooms available in the best hotels.
Much has changed since the days when our only travel companions were a fold-out map and a friendly local trying to explain, through gestures, how to reach our destination. Today, smartphones have become an essential tool for many people travel. If we know which apps to use on our trips, we can save time and money and enrich our experience.
