Travel to Algeria: video by Dídac García entered in the Viajes Tuareg Video Competition.

A demonstration of how the Sahara Desert's landscape is constantly being shaped. Over time, wind-blown sand accumulates at the base of rock formations, gradually creating scenes of extraordinary, indescribable beauty: red dunes and an impressive canyon concealing fantastical shapes, sculpted stone and springs of crystal-clear water.

Reykjavík is full of charm during the New Year celebrations.

With an expert local guide, staying in locations ideally placed for observing the night sky, we travel through southern Iceland To the glacial lagoon of Jökulsárlón. A perfect combination of daytime excursions and activities with northern lights viewing at night. The trip includes a glacier walk and a visit to the Blue Lagoon.

We have adapted one of our favourite classic trips for Christmas: crossing the Andes on roads and mountain tracks between Arequipa and Cuzco. We love it for the destination’s cultural and historical significance, the excellent team of guides and, of course, the unforgettable landscapes.

A 17-day trip to Peru, departing on the 25th and returning on Monday the 10th, just in time to return to work after a well-deserved Christmas holiday.

This Christmas we launch a new photography safari, taking us from Amboseli, at the foot of the imposing mass of Kilimanjaro, to the Maasai Mara plains, the ultimate African savannah.

A stop at Lake Naivasha will allow us to do unusual activities on a safari: hiking, boating or cycling.

Accompanied by an expert and staying in strategically located 3 and 4-star hotels, we travel through southern Iceland. A perfect combination of excursions and Northern Lights watching.

In Iceland, October marks the start of the strongest northern lights activity; the best time to see them is between December and March

Here’s to a 2021 full of travel!

It has not been an easy year for anyone, but our enthusiasm for exploring the world remains intact. Many plans went unfulfilled in 2020, and we hope you can make them happen in 2021. To help you do so, we have worked hard over these months to put together a 2021 programme full of great trips.

Soon you will be able to see all the adventures we have prepared on our website, including many new trips. It's never too early to start dreaming.

Christmas is for many the best time of year to travel. Better weather in some destinations, better prices in others; more and more people decide travel during the Christmas holidays. However, constant changes to border policies in our destinations have greatly reduced our range of trips. Our programme, which usually offers more than 50 Christmas destinations, has been reduced to fewer than 20 trips.

Some countries have been more successful than others in combating the pandemic, and it is precisely in these countries that we have focused our attention on the preparation of the Christmas holiday trips.

More and more travellers prefer to spend the New Year's Eve instead of opting for a traditional celebration. And we agree that celebrate New Year's Eve in front of the pyramids of Meroe in Sudan is much better than eating the grapes with Ramón García.

And get rid of the classic characters New Year's Eve is not the only reason travel at this time of year; sharing the experience with a group of people keen to explore the world and experience new things is what really makes a trip unforgettable. As always, we favour small groups, which helps the group bond and offers a more personal, intimate experience.

The New Year's Eve celebration is one of the most anticipated events by millions of people around the world.

We always want to welcome the New Year surrounded by loved ones, family and friends. That is why we often spend New Year's Eve in the same place.

But have you ever considered celebrate New Year differently? The small getaways to celebrate a special New Year’s Eve can be a very enjoyable option that we recommend.

Christmas is, for many, the best time of year to set off on an adventure. Better weather in some destinations, better prices in others: more and more people decide travel during the Christmas holidays.

At Tuareg, we always prepare a special programme for them, opening new routes and adapting our best itineraries for those who decide travel at Christmas can make the most of these days.

What better way to end the year than with an exciting holiday Adventure trip. This is what we offer at Viajes Tuareg. Here is a small selection of our routes, with 7 destinations for Travelling at Christmas specially selected.

Chad has always been a place where travelers say goodbye to their comfort zone and salute the adventure. The Art of Travel here is demanding in every sense of the word.

This, however, is part of the country's appeal: a chance to leave everything familiar behind and enter a place that promises experiences, good and bad, unlike those anywhere else. But if Chad is so demanding to travel through, why bother? Imagine sublime oases hidden in the northern deserts, vast herds of wildlife crossing national parks and the Lake Chad, with deep blue waters, awaiting the arrival of boats on its shores. In short, Chad is a country and a experience that you don't forget easily.

When we think of pyramids the first thing our mind visualizes are the pyramids of Egypt. Did you know that Sudan has more pyramids than Egypt, yet sees almost no tourists? A rare luxury in today’s world of mass tourism.

Sudan is an African country which, like Egypt, has many pyramids and also bears witness to the natural talent of the human being and also its history. It is a wonderful place where we can touch the past with our fingertips, yet sadly it seems to have been forgotten. Sudan is one of the countries receiving the fewest tourists each year.

Benin, a small country in West Africa open to Gulf of Guinea at its southern tip, an ethnic mosaic that preserves Indigenous traditions and languages despite the effects of French colonisation. Benin is a place seemingly frozen in time, with very little tourism, a painful history of slavery and a long road to development. It is also the birthplace of voodoo.

Oman It is one of those countries you hardly notice but never forget. Sparsely populated (just over three million inhabitants) yet vast, it is a remarkable place, and not only for the variety and richness of its pristine landscapes. 80% of territory is desert and where we can find authentic Bedouin communities, better known as desert dwellers.

In Viajes Tuareg We're always ahead of the calendar. Some say we're trying to catch the sun. We're a little like the fashion designers on television presenting coats and scarves in July, when temperatures outside are well into the thirties.

An alternative way to celebrate Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Toast the New Year in faraway lands and replace the traditional grapes with olives, nuts or whatever you can find along the way.

Even if just for once, we suggest 12 destinations, or in other words, 12 trips to leave the fading year behind and start a new one doing one of the things you enjoy most: travelling.

Look at the travel selection in small groups, with itineraries designed to spend Christmas and/or New Year’s Eve in truly special places.

Sultan Qaboos is held in very high regard by the Omani people. His image is everywhere, his luxurious yacht is moored in Muscat harbour, and concern for his health and succession is widespread.

The reality in Oman sometimes seems straight out of a tale from the Thousand and One Nights.

These Christmas We’ve thought of those of you who can’t wait to set off on a trip.

Our first Christmas departure is on the 20th, heading to Antarctica. For those looking to escape the winter cold, we have jungles and volcanoes dotted with colourful local markets in Guatemala and Honduras or the classic Safari of the Kenya Natural Parks on a short and comfortable trip. Ethiopia, with their contrasting landscapes and cultures, complete our list of trips departing before the 25th.
