Timkat in Axum: celebrating Epiphany in Ethiopia

Emperor Fasilides converted Gondar his capital in 1632. He then ordered the construction of a large pool for swimming and celebrating the religious ceremonies. The pools have survived to this day and have become the site of the celebration of the Timkat. Just as in other cities, in Gondar Ethiopians bring water from the river for the ceremony where they are completely immersed in holy water.

We have prepared this departure to Ethiopia on 17 January  proposing Timkat in Axum as a more traditional alternative, less affected by tourism, an alternative to crowded Lalibela that is increasingly popular with visitors to Gondar. In Axum we find lthe authenticity of Ethiopian religious feeling and the remains of the ancient capital of the Aksumite Empire, including its fields of funerary stelae.

We’re travelling to Japan again! A trip to Japan in November

After two years...Japan reopens its doors! Special departure Momiji-gari from 10 to 27 November.

We are delighted to be able to travel there at our favourite time of year, when we can enjoy momiji-gari, the search for autumn colours.
In November, the weather is cooler and the trees wear a striking cloak of ochre, orange, red and even violet leaves. Villages, shrines and forests fill with colour, and the big cities come alive again after the high temperatures of August and the typhoons of September.

What is the best trip to Senegal?

A few kilometres from the Atlantic coast lies a surprising place: Lompoul, a desert of sand dunes dotted with eucalyptus groves. Here we stay in a camp of traditional tents (Mauritanian luxury), with time to enjoy the dunes and take a camel ride to watch a magnificent sunset.

Perhaps Senegal does not have a Taj Mahal or a Machu Picchu, but the variety of landscapes and surprises we find every day make it one of the most valued trips in our post-travel surveys.

Vietnam: northern minorities, Halong Bay, Hue and the delta

Running fast into the future. In Vietnam, the 21st century coexists with traditional rice fields, the junks of Halong Bay and vegetation ready to fill any empty space.

A strip of land washed by the South China Sea stretching 2,400 km between the Mekong Delta and the mountains on the Chinese border.

Our range of trips to Vietnam this summer 2023, brings together everything travellers imagine about Southeast Asia: a true postcard from the other side of the world. But Vietnam also means cutting-edge technology and bustling activity 24 hours a day: a world far removed from rural areas.

Meet the finalists! Photography Competition 2020-21

We already have the finalist photos!!!

This final selection was even harder, and splendid images that undoubtedly deserved a place on the list had to be left out. But we are also convinced that the finalists will not disappoint

As explained in the competition rules, we – the thirteen people working at Viajes Tuareg – handle these first rounds of selection. There is no single criterion: some colleagues value quality, others originality or the story each image tells. There are other ways to do it, but we think this variety gives all our participants more opportunities.
