Our range of trips to Vietnam this summer 2023, brings together everything travellers imagine about Southeast Asia: a true postcard from the other side of the world. But Vietnam also means cutting-edge technology and bustling activity 24 hours a day: a world far removed from rural areas.

A 17-day group trip to Peru with a shared core itinerary covering the essentials—Arequipa, Titicaca, Cuzco and the Sacred Valley—that lets you choose how to reach Machu Picchu, by train or along the Inca Trail. Complete the route with the Tambopata jungle, colourful Cerro Vinicunca or the ecological haven of the Ballestas Islands.

We already have the finalist photos!!!

This final selection was even harder, and splendid images that undoubtedly deserved a place on the list had to be left out. But we are also convinced that the finalists will not disappoint

As explained in the competition rules, we – the thirteen people working at Viajes Tuareg – handle these first rounds of selection. There is no single criterion: some colleagues value quality, others originality or the story each image tells. There are other ways to do it, but we think this variety gives all our participants more opportunities.

After more than a year of restrictions around the world, countries are now gradually opening up and people are eager to travel. Once again, thousands of travelers have trusted us and they have allowed us to take them to the most extraordinary corners of our planet. But where will they travel?

A new way to experience the competition

The announcement of the 105 photographs going through to the next round has been a long time coming.

We hope this new format will make the competition more enjoyable, allowing you to view, search for and share your photos and videos more easily.

We hope you like it!

Take me to the new competition website!

Like good Tuareg, The nomadic tradition accompanies us. However comfortable we are in one place, we are always searching for new places to settle. We always have, and we still do. We're moving!

• What attractions does Gabon have for visitors?
• What can we expect from a trip to the country?
• What is the accommodation like?

Last Tuesday, 19/04, Antonio and Àlex answered these and many other questions that often arise when planning a trip to Gabon

The Svalbard archipelago is the northernmost European territory accessible to a non-professional expedition. Fjords, glaciers and abundant wildlife — polar bears, walruses, migratory birds… — await visitors during the short polar summer. This fascinating land in Europe’s remote north opens to visitors for that brief season.

Our trip to Namibia with J.C. Casado gives us the chance to travel through landscapes untouched by humans, where the wild animals live in ideal conditions, and the skies are free of the light pollution so common in our cities. Few places on Earth still offer both: wild nature and a a pristine environment.

If you're thinking about travel to Peru this summer 2022 ✅ and you still cannot decide, 25 pictures are worth more than a thousand words!!!

One of our favourite trips, with an excellent team of guides and unforgettable landscapes: crossing the Andes on roads and mountain tracks between Arequipa and Cuzco.

Often confused with the Arawak peoples, the indigenous Arhuaco communities inhabit the highlands of the Sierra de Santa Marta, in the valleys of the Chichicua, Piedras and Ariguaní rivers, among others. Their population is estimated at 25,000, and their lands are recognised by the State of Colombia as  collectively owned protected area.

The Arhuaco are a people with recognized social and political consciousness, and although they live scattered across the Sierra de Santa Marta, meetings and ceremonies bringing all the communities together take place in the main villages. The most important of these is Nabusímake.

If you are thinking of going on a safari with children, you may wonder whether the trip will be suitable for them.

In this article we talk about the convenience of travelling to Tanzania with young children, and we provide all the necessary information so you know how to do it in the best way.

How long has it been since we last went on an adventure with our loved ones? Now is our chance.

Georgia straddles two great continents: Europe and Asia. Although its history dates back to the 11th century, Georgia was part of the former USSR for many years. It gained independence in 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union.

It borders Russia, Turkey, Armenia and Azerbaijan and Tbilisi as its capital. A beautiful city of 1.4 million inhabitants, set among mountains on the banks of the Kura River. The city’s name comes from the word Tpli, which in Georgian means hot water and which refers to the presence of sulphurous and thermal waters.

Ethiopia is a continent within a continent, where all kinds of legends have been told since the Prester John created a kingdom where the fountain of youth was supposedly located, until all those who ruled were descended from the Queen of Sheba. There are places where time seems to have stopped Prehistory and others in which we find castles that seem to be taken from the European nobility. They even say there's a place where the Ark of the Covenant.

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.

Because of its extreme latitude, a journey through Alaska is always an adventure. Leaving Anchorage, the capital, we enter the wilderness. Here, tarmac often gives way to dirt tracks (most in excellent condition), and resources are scarce.

Traveling through Alaska with a guide is certainly the best way to get to know this remote state.

Few countries have such a concentration of UNESCO World Heritage Sites as Croatia. We will visit the national parks and the open-air museum cities on the coast, called pearls of the Adriatic, whose historical legacy gives them the title of cultural heritage: Zadar, Split, Trogir, Šibenik and Dubrovnik.

For 2022, we suggest discover Croatia in a dynamic and fun way.

Just a few years ago, you could visit the Nubian pyramids and even climb to the top.

Climbing them is no longer allowed, but it is still possible to visit with very few other people around. Judging by the changes we have seen in recent years, tourism is likely to increase soon, bringing restrictions to preserve the site.

Reykjavík is full of charm during the New Year celebrations.
