The St Lawrence River forms the backbone of this trip to Canada, following the route of explorer Jacques Cartier (31 December 1491 – 1 September 1557). Some of the Americas’ oldest cities, nature parks with exceptional scenery and wildlife watching make up this varied Quebec itinerary.
Jacques Cartier was the first European to explore and navigate the St Lawrence River.
Despite its small size, Costa Rica is one of the countries with biodiversity on the planet. If anything defines this country, it is a simple word that carries particular meaning here: nature. Wherever you look, nature surrounds you, with beaches and crystal-clear waters, tropical forests, waterfalls, hot springs, active volcanoes, jungle, Caribbean mangroves and coral reefs…
Cuba, the island of music, cigars and classic cars, captivates visitors with its vibrant culture and natural beauty. But when should you travel to Cuba? What is the best time to enjoy its charms to the full?
Cuba enjoys a moderate subtropical climate with two distinct seasons.
…we are the sum of our grandparents, great-grandparents and great-great-grandparents…
According to this belief, human existence continues through time, as each individual has lived previous lives, even without remembering them.
Have you thought about travel to Cuba? From a historical and social perspective, few places rival Cuba. Add Caribbean beaches, mountains bursting with biodiversity and welcoming people who also speak our language, and the result is an unbeatable destination. One of our favourites, without a doubt.

A journey to venture into the land of the grizzlies and the incredible glaciers; a place where they cross ice fields, stunning landscapes of lakes and alpine villages. Alternating between vehicle journeys, walks and snowshoeing, we will venture into the Banff and Jasper National Parks, two of the most spectacular parks in the Canadian Rockies.
We travel in March, perhaps the most beautiful month of all in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, and given the sheer scale of the region, the landscapes may have you reaching for another camera memory card: it will be hard to take your finger off the shutter. The pristine peaks, forests and lakes are still covered in snow, but at midday temperatures average 4 to 6 degrees, and daylight lasts until around eight in the evening. It is also the best season to see The northern lights in the area, weather permitting.
Calgary, was born during the oil boom but is now known as the gateway to the Rocky Mountains.
Located on the Valley of the Ten Peaks, one of the most spectacular in Canada, we can admire the views from its terminal moraine. Here we will have the chance to snowshoe up from the shore of Moraine Lake until Lake Minnestimma, following the trail through Larch Valley to Sentinel Pass.
A day of snowshoeing that will take us to the Mirror and Agnes Lakes to finally reach the refuge of the Plain of the Six Glaciers.
The crossing to Jasper National Park We will follow the famous road Icefields Parkway, considered by many to be one of the world’s most beautiful roads, with views of glaciers every 1.5 km. We will travel along the Columbia Icefield, one of the largest icefields on the planet outside the polar circles, as well as the mountain passes Bow Pass and Sunwapta Pass, with views of glacial lakes such as Peyto Lake, Bow Lake or Hector Lake, with colours that change throughout the day. A day when we will certainly make good use of our cameras.
The Maligne Lake is one of Jasper’s most famous and photogenic glacial lakes. Here we will begin our snowshoeing route along the trail of the Bald Hills. From high above, you can appreciate the grandeur of this lake and the many glaciers that feed it.

We know that many of you have doubts about travelling with the youngest members of the family because some of the journey is long and involves intercontinental flights. Who does not remember those endless road trips when we were children? None of us was traumatised! Things have changed, and a 10-hour flight with all the comforts available today is no trouble for children.
On a regular and fully predictable basis they are taking place eclipses on planet Earth. Thanks to scientific advances and the computing power of today’s data centres, we can predict these astronomical phenomena well in advance, allowing us to make all the preparations needed to observe them properly.
The stage is set: on 21 August, the moon's shadow will darken the sky for two and a quarter minutes as it crosses Wyoming and Idaho. We have front-row seats reserved.

Greenland is the northernmost country in the world, located on the American continent between the Atlantic and Arctic Oceans, facing the Canadian coast on one side and the north-west of Europe on the other. Kalaallit Nunaat (the country's native name) is the largest island in the world, excluding the island continent of Australia, with a total area of 2,415,100 km². Just over 83% of Greenland is covered in ice, making it the world's second-largest ice reserve after Antarctica.
Greenland is one of the last remaining unspoilt and remote destinations on the planet.
Remember that this Wednesday at our offices in Viajes Tuareg, a polar explorer and an anthropologist specialising in the Inuit will share first-hand information and remarkable personal stories from their Greenland journeys.
Francesc Bailon and Gerard Van Der Berg will give this travel talk and lead an expedition to the Ammassalimmiut communities on Greenland's east coast, the last group to come into contact with the ‘white man’.
