Javier M. de la Varga has been cycling around the world for 7 years 

Neither typhus, malaria nor the attacks he has suffered in some countries have made him change course. At 32, this photojournalist has turned his two passions, travel and cycling, in their way of life

With more than 77,000 kilometres behind him, he has already cycled halfway around the world, from Indonesia to Cape Town. He has lived and recorded experiences ranging from fascination with humanity to the fear caused by violence and deprivation; from the beauty of a silent landscape to the exhaustion left by malaria or typhus.

The bicycle is a common means of transport in many parts of the world. The reasons are clear: a bicycle is inexpensive, requires little maintenance and needs no fuel. We love cycling trips, and our website offers plenty of routes on wheels, but today we are going to look at how local people use this means of transport in their daily lives.

Photography and videos made with drones are fashionable. We have selected some of the best travel and adventure videos filmed with a drone and available online, for you to enjoy as much as we do, or even more. They combine beautiful shots of unique places with intense moments of adventure or action. We are sure you will like them.

What Danny MacAskill does on his mountain bike on the Isle of Skye in Scotland is incredible. To put your mind at ease, our Cycling trips are not in this style.

Our colleague Isi Juvé has cycled across several continents, swallowed dust on a thousand roads and kept pedalling through countless trips. On one of his adventures he spent more than two years away from home. Along the way he has gained the experience to offer us reliable advice. He is definitely our man in Viajes Tuareg for the Cycling trips.

Our guide and cycling expert, Isi Juvé, invites us to another talk and presentation.

This time focused on our journey to Cuba by bicycle and other ideas for travelling on two wheels this summer 2013!

The next talk will take place Thursday, 30 May, 19.30 hours at our office at Passatge de Mariner 1 bis, 08025 – BARCELONA.

A 15-day trip to the west and centre of Cuba, at the pace a bicycle allows. No rush, Cuban style!

Discovering Cuba by Bike

Isidro, the travel guide «Cuba by bicycle”, which departed on 18 August, wrote to us two days ago.
This was the first news of the eleven brave men who found themselves pedaling against the Hurricane Isaac.

Ahead of our afternoon talk and audiovisual presentation, “The World Seen from a Bicycle”, on 29 June, we suggest a bike ride on Sunday 19 June.

Can you imagine grabbing your bike one day, buying a plane ticket and spending a whole year cycling across Africa? Our friends Isidre Juvé and Zaida Peris did just that. And as that wasn't enough, they spent another year in Asia, then a final year cycling home across Europe. How's that for an adventure?
