There are still places in Europe waiting for an opportunity to be discovered. And so it is with Albania; with a slightly smaller area than that of Catalonia or Galicia, the Republic of Albania remains one of Europe's least-known countries.

Since the end of a long dictatorship in 1991, Albania has begun opening up to the world, gradually revealing its hidden treasures. Today, we share images of a country with a distinctive, authentic character: unspoilt beaches with crystal-clear waters, mountains, historic cities and villages that preserve their traditions.

October transforms Europe. Forests begin to change colour, temperatures become more comfortable for walking, and many destinations regain their tranquillity after summer.

Three different ways to enjoy autumn travel in Europe.

Still don’t know where to travel at Christmas 2026? Swapping the usual celebrations for a safari, a night in the desert, Costa Rica’s tropical landscapes or a great journey through Asia can be a wonderful way to end the year.

Some departures are already filling up, and certain trips have only a few places left.

Would you like to travel to Costa Rica this autumn? We have places available on the 1 October departure of our Costa Rica trip. A route between volcanoes, national parks, the Caribbean and the Pacific, following Tuareg’s active style.

Nature, hiking and some of the most spectacular landscapes in the country.

September is still one of the best months to travel around Europe: fewer visitors, pleasant temperatures and destinations that still preserve the atmosphere of summer. And for those who are still looking for a getaway for this month, Last places on three of our guaranteed departures in Europe.

We like winter because it offers experiences impossible at other times of year, such as travelling to the desert or seeing thousands of wildebeest giving birth. Today we suggest 3 Winter Adventures to start the year by discovering extraordinary places.

When we think of travel to the desert We usually picture dunes, oases, nights under the stars and long walks through landscapes unlike those at home. But there is an important question to consider before choosing dates: in summer, the heat can be extreme.

And we don't know this just from the thermometers. We've lived it.

If you're thinking about travel to South Africa in September, The Southern Route departs on 29 September 2026. A 15-day small group trip combining hiking, safaris, nature and wildlife, visiting Cape Town, the Garden Route, Hermanus, Cape Agulhas and Addo National Park.

A balanced route between activity, nature and discovery.

Solar activity directly affects the frequency and intensity of the aurora, but it is not the only factor. To see it, we also need sufficiently dark nights, clear skies and a location away from light pollution.

When is the best time to see the northern lights? Where can you see them?

With its easy access and safe environment, the Sahara is an ideal option for travel with teenagers or children seeking adventure. Its vast landscapes, light and closeness to nature make it perfect to share with family or friends, or to enjoy with a group of travellers with similar interests.

  A selection of October trips with fewer crowds and queues, following our commitment to sustainable tourism.

Walk in lesser-known corners of the Baltics; discover the wildlife in Tanzania; discover Albania, Europe’s least-known country, or explore the island of Madeira through forests and along cliffs. Choosing a destination also means choosing what we will do when we get there.

October is the perfect time to escape the noise and crowds. With cooler temperatures and clear skies, trails offer a more intimate experience of nature. And there are no high-season supplements: all advantages.

A route to discover the Mauritanian Sahara, combining desert, oasis and ocean on the same trip.

If you are drawn to wide-open spaces, dunes, oases and the feeling of being far from everything, Mauritania offers dramatic landscapes where vast stretches of sand alternate with ancient oases, caravan towns and an unspoilt Atlantic coast.

Discover southern Angola through traditional communities, desert, dunes, the Atlantic and Iona National Park.

Angola is one of those African destinations that is still off the usual routes. A huge country, diverse and little visited, where the landscape changes from the mountains and highlands of the interior to the arid territories of the southwest, where the desert reaches practically to the Atlantic.

The best time to see the northern lights in Finland is between October and March.

Winter in Lapland is simply magical. Snow blankets the landscapes and animals adapt to the cold. Staying in a cosy hotel in Inari, we will spend our days exploring the taiga, the immense coniferous forest covering the north of our planet. At night, we will enjoy the magnificent spectacle of the Northern Lights.

Sahara is known for its extreme contrasts, and choosing when to go can make a difference.

The Sahara has its charm at any time of year, but some seasons are more welcoming for travellers. Spring and autumn are usually the best times to explore the world’s largest desert. Temperatures are milder in these months, allowing you to enjoy the landscape without the scorching summer heat or the intense cold of winter nights.

We began our professional journey organising desert trips and, 40 years later, we still consider the desert one of the most beautiful places on the planet.

For winter 2026, we suggest four ways to discover Algeria. Two focus on the Tadrart region and its labyrinths of rock and sand. A third explores the Sahara through the Grand Erg Occidental, while the fourth offers a more conventional journey through northern Algeria’s historic cities and monuments.
