The exhibition We would like to return is a collection of images and accounts from travellers who visited Mali, Syria, Yemen and Libya between the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s.
At that time, curiosity about new places and different cultures grew exponentially. Travelling off the beaten track became more common, and new destinations appeared in travel agency brochures.
Today we announced the winner of the competition for a place on the familiarisation trip to Sudan. It is Eva Vicent from the Veuremón travel agency in Sabadell. Many congratulations!
She made it through every qualifying challenge to win the prize.
If you're thinking of a trip to the United States , remember to apply for ESTA, in other words, the visa you need to enter the USA, which takes just a few minutes.
Complete the form, all instructions are in Spanish. If doubts arise, do not worry, customer service agents are available for questions or concerns.
Today is the International Women's Day and we want to join the celebration with a small tribute through photographs of women we meet on our travels. Women who care for their families, help preserve traditions, lead, empower other women and fight for change; mothers caring for their families… This is for each and every one of them
We are going to Sudan and would love you to join us. In fact, we are inviting you. But we only have one place, and this message is for all the travel agents we have not yet met — and there are many of you.
That's why we encourage you to participate in #sudancontuareg a competition organised by Viajes Tuareg and Turkish Airlines in which the winner travel to Sudan for 10 days to discover the country’s wonders first-hand. This is no ordinary trip; what you will discover there belongs in the category of the extraordinary.
Sixteen participants and twenty-two videos may not seem many compared with the almost 180 entries in the Photography Competition, but 16 is a respectable number. Adventure videos, reports from the other side of the world and heart-warming family stories – an interestingly high proportion of the Video Competition entries feature families. Many thanks to everyone who took part, and congratulations to the winners.
The competition includes videos that tell stories as wonderful and moving as Marina Jiménez’s trip to Indonesia with her father. Others are documentaries: elegant, like Carmen Munté’s film of New Zealand, or brimming with authenticity, like Asier Arteche’s Journey to Yunnan. Then there is Esther Esteban’s Journey to Myanmar, skilfully made and with colour grading that produces truly beautiful images. We have enjoyed them all.
This year 173 contestants participated in the contest with a total of 712 images of which 72 passed the first round. If you have time and curiosity you can enter and see the 72 photos : a truly surprising level of quality and originality. We then selected the 22 best photos that we submitted to the jury. And now it’s time to announce the winners of the Photo Contest 2017. And among these finalists, the journalist Elena del Maestro has selected the three prizewinners. Thank you all for taking part. We love seeing the world through your lens.
The bookshops also take us on journeys; and today, on their special day, don’t forget to visit your favourite so that you can daydreaming, asking, advising, reading and consulting guides, diving in travel literature, buy maps or travel accessories...
And there is no denying it: these bookshops are magnetic places with an irresistible appeal for all those who like travel, where we gather in search of kindred spirits as we take the first steps of a great journey — or, why not, on our return.
We would also like to express our thanks here to the booksellers that books offer us, those wonderful conveyors of dreams, hopes, passions.
So we invite you to travel the world through our favourite bookshops
A bookshop where you can sleep: small compartments welcome those who want to stay and read. We can spend the night devouring books in Japanese or English. The concept has expanded with the opening of two more Book & Bed locations in Kyoto and Fukuoka.
Your opinion is very important to us.
In Viajes Tuareg we take all our travellers’ feedback very seriously. Their constructive criticism helps us improve and refine each trip, and hearing that a trip was perfect gives us great satisfaction.
If Africa is the cradle of civilisation, it is also the cradle of flavour. One of the star ingredients that gives its dishes their intensity is ginger, especially in countries like Ivory Coast and Nigeria.
We will talk about the first one today because, as well as being the world’s leading cocoa exporter, it is a major producer of ginger. This root is a constant presence in the country’s street markets in all its forms (fresh, dried, processed, in drinks…) and a source of income for many families.
Catalogue version 0.0. A little treasure, illustrated with drawings photocopied from comics of the time (Víbora, El Cairo…).
In Tuareg, as you know, we offer archaeology and history trips, but in this post we want to take a different kind of journey. We are travelling back in time to unearth our own history: more than three decades of passion for the culture of travel.
There are many lakes in the world, formed by a wide variety of geological processes and forces within the earth. What distinguishes many of them is the life that thrives around them in all its forms, from unspoilt nature to human activity. Water is life.
Regularly in Viajes Tuareg rewards feedback that our customers leave us. If you didn't know, you can see how we value these reviews of Viajes Tuareg in more detail, and explain how the feedback prize draw works.
We want to share with all of you our values and philosophy at Viajes Tuareg. We illustrate these ideas with some of the best photographs our customers send us year after year. Many enter the competition we organise each year; others send them simply for the pleasure of sharing beautiful moments and landscapes from their travels.
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.

We will meet in the Turkish Airlines conference room on Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia to talk with expert travellers and communicators who will give us a rich and varied view of this beautiful African destination. Come and find a place beneath this metaphorical baobab in the centre of Barcelona to hear the best stories from Madagascar.
Before I start writing like a man possessed, I think it is useful to set out what we expect from a trip and from taking photographs.
I assume we see a journey as more than simply moving from one place to another. I hope you see it as an experience: a chance to enjoy ourselves, feel alive and learn. We travel to see the world as people elsewhere see it, and to try to feel what they feel. Viewed this way, travel is an excellent opportunity to learn in a completely different way: first-hand.
