Five trips for Easter 2027: from the Baltic States to Cappadocia, the Caucasus and Central Asia.
Last places available for Sri Lanka this autumn with Pilar Petit
Autumn is just around the corner, and we have selected our standout destinations. One of our star trips is Sri Lanka, a jewel of Southeast Asia, accompanied by our guide Pilar Petit.
Last chance to book places on our Vietnam trips this summer. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover Southeast Asia.
From the mountains of Sapa and the lives of its ethnic minorities to the Mekong Delta’s floating markets and the unique landscapes of Halong Bay. Optional visit to the temples of Angkor in Cambodia.
Vietnam is extensive and has a very diverse topography. The South Vietnam lies in the tropical monsoon climate zone, where seasons differ only in rainfall and wind direction. There are two seasons: relatively dry (November–April) and rainy (May–October). Temperatures do not change significantly throughout the year. The Northern regions have a tropical climate with slightly more marked seasonal climate changes. Summer is hot and humid, while winter is cold and rainy.
All things come in time. The remote province of Ratanakiri in the country’s northeast has finally opened to visitors. Some of Southeast Asia’s least-known ethnic minorities await us, along with virtually unexplored natural areas. Spectacular landscapes with huge rivers, lakes and waterfalls, diamond mines and villages whose way of life would delight any anthropologist.
Dani S., our man in Cambodia, shares his reasons for travelling there.
Vietnam It is a fascinating destination at any time of year, but the summer months, its low season, offer a chance to explore more peacefully. Fewer tourists and a more relaxed atmosphere make it an ideal time to discover its landscapes and culture.
From the northern mountains to the Mekong Delta, through the temples of Angkor in Cambodia
In our travel in Mongolia, we often encounter Mongolian nomads traveling with their yurts in search of a new temporary home. It is then that many travellers realise we share something with the Mongolian ethnic group; our nomadic spirit. But despite this similarity, the Mongolians are a people with a rich history and customs and traditions far removed from Western ones. Let’s see why.
Saudi Arabia; one of our highlights for Easter 2026.
From our trip to Saudi Arabia We expected archaeology (the Nabataean remains at Mada’in Salih), religious fervour (prayer time in Medina) and petrodollar-funded engineering (the KADF complex in Riyadh). Deserts too, but the excursion up Wadi Dissa far exceeded our expectations
Two decades after the devastating invasion of Iraq, Mesopotamia is reopening to travellers. This journey to the heart of our civilisation connects the remains of history with the challenges of contemporary geopolitics and offers a unique opportunity to visit some of the holiest places in Shia Islam.
Twenty years after the invasion of Iraq, Mesopotamia is once again open to travellers.
Each Southeast Asian destination has its own charm and offers a unique experience, especially at Christmas, when the weather is ideal and local festivities add a special touch. Prepare for a different kind of Christmas, full of unforgettable moments in one of the world’s most fascinating regions.
Meet the Kyrgyz, the nomadic people who travel through the valleys and mountains of Kyrgyzstan along with his cattle.
Kyrgyz society has historically been organised into clans and family tribes. The yurt has traditionally been the home of nomadic Kyrgyz people and remains important in their culture. Their extraordinary hospitality gives us a chance to learn about life in their camps and discover how they carry out daily tasks in traditional ways.
Travelling to Thailand on my own, in a small group or on an individual trip?
A question we may ask if we want to spend our holidays in Thailand and enjoy the best possible trip while spending as little as possible. In this post, we compare the options from our perspective at Viajes Tuareg.
In Kandy, on full-moon nights, Esala Perahera is celebrated, the most iconic and renowned Buddhist festival in Sri Lanka. Considered one of the most authentic expressions of Sinhalese culture, it lasts ten days filled with splendour and devotion. During this time, the country's most sacred and closely guarded relic, its true crown jewel, leaves the temple: the revered tooth of the Buddha.
The snow leopard, one of the planet’s most elusive and enigmatic cats, lives in the remote mountains of Central Asia. Kazakhstan’s imposing Tien Shan landscapes are one of the few places where it is still possible to track it.
Where to see the snow leopard? A route through the mountains of Kazakhstan.
Imagine being in one of the world’s most remote and spectacular regions, where the majestic Tien Shan rises in snowy peaks above hidden valleys. Our trek in Kazakhstan takes us through the unique landscapes of the central Tien Shan mountain range.
We descend to Lake Karakol, entering the snow leopard habitat.
We venture into the land of Mongolia through 7 magnificent photographs that aim to capture its landscapes and ways of life. We know it is only a fleeting glimpse, but for a moment it takes us to vast green spaces, to the world of nomads who move with the seasons, and to some ways of life and customs constantly eroded by the arrival of so-called modernity.
Thailand receives more visitors than almost any other country in Southeast Asia, perhaps the most of all, and has a tradition of welcoming them warmly and willingly. Thailand stands out as a complete destination that meets the needs and desires of a wide range of travelers.

Drawing on our experience in Southeast Asia, we share notes and travel tips to help you choose the right time and destination.
The cherry blossom—벚꽃 (Beotkkot)—is the flower of February and a symbol of renewal and fleeting beauty.
The origins and history of cherry blossoms in Korea are controversial. Some say the Japanese planted the trees, while others argue that they were already present in the country and valued as a useful material long before the Japanese arrived.
From the first steps of civilization and the golden age of Phoenician cities of Sidon, Tyre, Beirut and Byblos, to the remains of the medieval Crusades in Tripoli, passing through the glorious Roman past of Baalbeck and the flourishing Islamic era, Lebanon was always the door of Asia and the East or the last Asian port for others.
