There are two things we love when we travel; one is to get lost in the places we visit and the other, go to sleep on a full stomach.
When we travel around the world, we can enter a good restaurant and spend a little money but, to be honest, we prefer to walk the streets in search of the best street food in the world, authentic local cuisine.
Here are some of the the best street foods of the world, so you can taste them on your travels or try cooking them at home (Viajes Tuareg cannot take responsibility for your culinary skills):
Known as "buns‘, this Street food in China has recently become popular in our country. Baozi are steamed buns that can be filled with all kinds of ingredients: meat or vegetables for lunch or dinner, or chocolate, for example, for dessert.
In China they are everywhere, so I'm sure those who Travel with us to China You can taste it.
If you have already travelled to Thailand, you have probably tried Pad Thai at some point. This traditional Thai street food is not only delicious but also very affordable and usually appeals to everyone. It consists of stir-fried rice noodles with chicken or seafood, such as prawns or shrimp. Egg, coriander, soya, peppers and a sauce are also used, varying according to where you eat it.
There is no need travel to Greece to eat a gyro, although the best are undoubtedly those we find wandering through the streets of Greek cities.
For a great gyros, we need good pita bread, roast lamb or pork and the distinctive tzatziki sauce (yoghurt with garlic, mint and cucumber). We can then add something fresh, such as onion, lettuce or tomato (or all three!).
Takoyaki (たこ焼き) is a small fritter made from flour-and-egg batter, filled with grilled octopus and served with sauce. In fact, “tako’ is octopus, and "yaki’ is griddled. Although this Japanese street food originally comes from the Kansai region, is now eaten almost throughout the country, and is delicious!
If you don't dare cook it at home, always You can travel with us to Japan!
If you have walked through Sicily’s streets, you have probably seen arancini at many food stalls. Their shape may vary depending on where on the island you eat them, but they all have one thing in common,
We already have the first images and opinions ✅ of our first trip to China: Nature Walks in Eastern China. It seems we haven’t done too badly!!!
Alongside the cosmopolitan cities of the east, this route takes in the most spectacular sites in Central China: The pinnacles of Yangshuo and the Li River; the stone forest of Zhangjiajie and the Great Wall in the Jinshanling area. Masterpieces of nature that we will discover on varied, accessible walks, allowing us to get away from the local crowds.
We travel with a guide from our country who He's lived in China for years, he knows the language. and will help us understand the complex society of this destination.

ARMAND N > September 2018 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
A varied trip packed with activities. A good balance between culture and nature.
The best of the trip:
An exceptional guide who showed great interest and complete dedication to the group, helping us enjoy the trip to the full. Among the visits, I would highlight Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the treks in Longsheng, the Guilin cruise and the bike ride to Moon Hill.
ALEJANDRO F M > September 2018 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Excellent. We felt comfortable from the start, and our tour leader made sure everything ran smoothly. The trip lived up to the expectations set, and sometimes exceeded them. Our guide played an important part in this too. We also enjoyed simple things, such as a bicycle ride. We would do it again.
The best of the trip:
The combination of different elements. Truly imposing cities with places such as the Imperial City and the hutongs. The way the trip was organised allowed us to walk along the Great Wall at a relaxed pace and enjoy it, just as we did in the Longji area. The natural sites we visited retained their power and some of their character, even within the “scenic area” format that drives tourism in China and makes them accessible to so many people. And our guide Guillem: without him, it would have been a different trip.
SUSANA L > September 2018 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
I think those people who like to combine cultural visits with walks will love it. It is quite impressive the mix of the old and the new: places with hundreds of years of history next to the skyscrapers and the most modern technology.
The best of the trip:
The dedication and passion of our guide. Thanks to Guillem, we were able to do more activities than originally planned and gain an insight into Chinese culture. He also joined us for every meal not included in the trip, bringing us closer to daily life in the country. I think he made the difference between a ‘good’ trip and a ‘very good’ one. Apart from the human connections, I would highlight the visit to the Great Wall. It is spectacular and well worth the bus journey to escape the areas most visited by tourists. Walking along it with hardly anyone around is priceless. Another highlight was walking through the Longsheng rice terraces. Words cannot describe it. The landscape's changing geometry at every step makes it magical!
