It will not be long before Christmas and with it those precious, long-awaited holidays. The best-prepared among you have already booked and are packing your bags for some holidays unforgettable experiences to end the year with.
With the family celebrations just days away, and the departure dates not far behind for we still have places on our Christmas trips in some of our destinations.

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.
As the saying goes, September is the month for the rich, but perhaps October is one of our favourite months for travel. As autumn begins, many of our destinations take on distinctive colours, displaying shades you will not see at other times of year.
For those lucky enough to travel in October, visitors even seem to receive better treatment, with fewer people queuing and fewer visitors at the main attractions.
With the arrival of autumn the trekking season in the Himalayas and northern Southeast Asia welcomes the end of the monsoons and the arrival of winter. In South America, it is an ideal time to travel, similar to our month of June, with few visitors and more affordable prices at the main tourist attractions.

Active travel, hiking and trekking. It's not just where we're going, but what we're going to do when we're there.
Some sayings and proverbs are wrong. Dust you are, and to dust you shall return. Wrong. We are water. Water is more abundant in our bodies than any other substance. And we need it. Water is life. Seas dominate the Earth’s surface, and life thrives along their shores. Then there are lakes and rivers, often the cradles of civilisations, or humanity’s first “highways”, connecting distant civilisations.
Travel across rivers, lakes and seas
In your next holidays We suggest a series of trips in which water is both our means of travel and the star attraction. By canoe, by kayak or sailing. In the south, close to the North Pole, on rivers or out at sea…
We know that one of the main reasons we travel the world is to immerse ourselves in nature. Of course, there are other motivations, such as culture, photography, history and archaeology. But today we are going to talk about trips where nature and landscapes take centre stage. Let's look at some of the most splendid natural environments we can travel to this summer.
Viajes Tuareg has launched an initiative to recognise our most loyal and intrepid travellers. Quite a few have travelled with us not just once, twice or three times, but as many as seven times. We have counted from 2007, when our organised records begin, and many friends trust us to arrange their holidays almost every year. Some customers have been with us since the agency's earliest days and never tire of travelling with us. They are certainly part of the great Tuareg family.
For those lucky enough to travel in the low season, we have designed a range of trips with cultural and outdoor activities — hiking, cycling, mountaineering or cross-country skiing, for example — suited to the time of year.
Among our group trips with special departures this winter and spring, we would like to highlight a few destinations.
In Asia, a cultural and religious event. Trip departing on 5 February. The huge Maha Kumbh Mela pilgrimage in India is a Hindu spiritual celebration held every twelve years, drawing millions of pilgrims to Prayag. Over two days, we will witness the ritual bathing of “Basant Panchami”.
