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.
The entry rules for the 2020–2021 photography competition are now available.
This year’s competition is open to travellers from 2020 and 2021. We invite you to take part: it’s fun, there are good cash prizes (with no obligation to spend them at the agency), and your photographs will get exposure.
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
Cruising the Senegal River aboard the legendary Bou el Mogdad is quite an experience. Departures from October 2021 to May 2022
Sailing aboard this iconic vessel and visiting places far from the tourist trail are two of the attractions of this trip to Senegal. In colonial times, this waterway was important for trade between the continent’s interior and the Atlantic, until access to the sea became blocked to large vessels, leaving the Bou el Mogdad as the only boat.
For winter 2021/22, we suggest a short trip (a 5-day break) to discover Kyiv and Chernobyl.
In April 1986, reactor IV at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant exploded, causing the greatest nuclear accident in history. Thirty-five years later, nature has reclaimed what humans abandoned.
How did Viajes Tuareg begin? How have we evolved? Who is behind our trips?
We explained this in this video, submitted to the 2020 National Trade Awards.
We've been waiting for you!
The Country of the Teranga has opened its doors to the citizens of the European Union!
Without quarantine, we can go back to Senegal!
Teranga – a Wolof word – often described as a mixture of hospitality, solidarity and respect. But, as the Senegalese say, it is much more: a way of life, a set of values that guides their lives.
More reviews are coming in from our summer 2021 trips.
In Viajes Tuareg We take your feedback about our trips very seriously. Your comments help us improve our services and refine each itinerary. They also give us great satisfaction when we hear that a trip has gone well.
Our group from the trip to Kyrgyzstan around Lake Issyk Kul, which departed on 26 June, has now returned, and the travellers share their impressions of the trip.
Useful information for future travellers to Kyrgyzstan: the highlights and drawbacks, as told by people who have been there.
Situated between the Uzbek deserts and the Kazakh steppes, Kyrgyzstan is popularly known as the “Switzerland of Asia”, home to two large mountain ranges such as Tien Shan and Pamir. Kyrgyzstan has always been a land of nomads, as shown by the many camps set up in the summer months, where we spend many nights during our treks.
Slovenia is a small country with an enviable geographical position between the majestic Alps and the Mediterranean. Known as miniature Europe, Slovenia has spectacular mountains, lush forests and a small coastline.
For its part, Slovakia has a history closely tied to the fortunes of Central Europe’s kingdoms. The natural parks of the Carpathians are home to some of Europe’s most iconic wildlife: deer, lynx, bears and wolves. Bear in mind that there may be snow in the mountains in spring, and the weather can change quickly, even within a single day.
Slovenia is a small country with an enviable geographical position between the majestic Alps and the Mediterranean. Known as miniature Europe, Slovenia has spectacular mountains, lush forests and a small coastline.

Both end in “tan”, but what we find there is very different…
– UZBEKISTAN: A celebration of Islamic history and architecture along the ancient Silk Road. Desert and steppe landscapes
– KYRGYZSTAN: the Switzerland of Central Asia: nomads with their yurts, forests, an average altitude of 2000 m and the peaks of the Pamirs on the horizon.
When someone whispers the word Samarkand, the word brings to mind bygone times or the tales of the Arabian Nights told at bedtime. It is a magical place where East and West meet, which reached its greatest splendour when Tamerlane, heir to Genghis Khan, made it his imperial capital.
Last 2 places on the 18 June departure!
In just a few days, we will visit Uganda’s highlights, getting close to chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest and mountain gorillas in Bwindi National Park.
Special departure on 18 June with 4×4 vehicles and every comfort.
