Tourism Minister announced last Monday 27 July the opening of borders with the European Union. To revive its tourism industry, Costa Rica will begin reopening to international commercial flights while maintaining health precautions.
A note sent to our offices by our Costa Rican partners indicates that travellers from our country will be welcomed in Costa Rica provided they meet a number of requirements:
Our correspondent in Mingalarbar, Myanmar, sends us news that the main tourist sites are gradually reopening.
We are pleased to announce that more tourist sites are opening for domestic travel in Myanmar. Our government is gradually easing restrictions on domestic travellers and opening tourist sites in Bagan, Hpa-an, Inle, Kalaw, Pindaya and Loikaw to local visitors.
On 16 July, the European Council issued a circular updating the list of countries without restrictions on non-essential travel. The note contains a ‘lrevised whitelist of countries to which travel is possible leisure and tourism. If compared to the list adopted on 30 June, two countries have been removed from the list (Montenegro and Serbia) and no new countries have been added.
The blog DiarideBarcelona.cat interviewed our manager Jordi Vendrell. The Covid-19 crisis has had a special impact on tourism and travel agencies are one of the sectors most affected by the pandemic and the resulting crisis.
Tourism has been one of the sectors most affected by Covid-19. How does it affect travel agencies in particular?
The coronavirus has affected us greatly. We work internationally, so border closures and lockdown have completely disrupted our plans. Since March 11, we have had two jobs: first, repatriating everyone we had travelling around the world; second, managing refunds for people who had booked trips that could no longer go ahead.
The desert is a spectacular place where extraordinary things happen. It captures our hearts and creates a longing to return that becomes part of our lives. Here, the mineral world dominates — something unfamiliar to us that evokes almost spiritual feelings of immensity, grandeur and solitude…
Desert trips in 2020: welcome to the vast emptiness.

Tourists from Belgium, Portugal Travellers from Sweden, as well as the United Kingdom, are subject to 14 days of quarantine.
There are reasons to be optimistic. Canada may begin reopening its borders to tourist travel on 1 July
Asked whether Canada will lift its COVID-19 travel restrictions on 1 July 2020, the answer for now is “no one knows”. However, given the federal government’s recent actions and the apparent decline in Canada’s pandemic curve, an opening may be possible on 1 July. The Canadian government will lift restrictions when it believes it is safe to do so.

We have come together to give a voice to the problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which threatens our economic survival, and to build a community with those travellers who are eagerly awaiting the reopening of borders so they can choose a destination and travel again.
Are you looking for a holiday destination but haven’t decided yet?
In the middle of the Atlantic, far from everything, Madeira rises like a mountain of lava and basalt above the ocean. Its interior is extremely rugged, a labyrinth of green ravines traversed by levadas, the ancient channels that distributed water throughout the island.
This legendary route will introduce us, guided by a Spanish-speaking guide with expert knowledge of Tibet, the regions of Yunnan and Sichuan. Two regions of China home to almost half of the country’s ethnic groups, and which for thousands of years enabled the trade of tea carried by the legendary Tibetan horses.
This route presents no particular difficulties, apart from any discomfort caused by the altitude.
2020 begins and we want to remind you that there are still places on many of our routes to travel in February.
We still have places to see the Northern Lights in Finland, something everyone should do at least once in their life, or to cross the Algerian desert in a 4×4, or to see the Great Migration in Tanzania, or to… February offers plenty of options for those looking to travel in the low season, without airport queues or crowds, and with rooms available in the best hotels.
You haven't unpacked yet and you're already thinking about your next trip?
If you start planning your next destination the moment your holiday ends, don’t worry: our programme of organised trips for 2020 is full of options with routes for all tastes. Hiking and trekking travelling in a small group, photography trips accompanied by expert photographers, Northern Lights, routes through the desert in 4×4 and much more!
More and more travellers prefer to spend the New Year's Eve instead of opting for a traditional celebration. And we agree that celebrate New Year's Eve in front of the pyramids of Meroe in Sudan is much better than eating the grapes with Ramón García.
And get rid of the classic characters New Year's Eve is not the only reason travel at this time of year; sharing the experience with a group of people keen to explore the world and experience new things is what really makes a trip unforgettable. As always, we favour small groups, which helps the group bond and offers a more personal, intimate experience.
Travel is one of life’s most widely shared pleasures. It feeds our curiosity and lets us switch off from our daily routine, discover other cultures, try different foods and share moments with our loved ones.
"Travels in youth are a form of education and, in old age, they are part of the experience", says philosopher and writer Francis Bacon
Travel offers us many psychological benefits:
1. Communication
When we encounter an unfamiliar place and a new culture, we must adapt how we communicate. A different culture often means a different way of thinking, understanding and expressing things. Usually, when we communicate across cultures, we are unconsciously much more assertive, since we initially assumed that our way of looking at things might not be the right one in that place. That is why approaching people from other cultures is tremendously enriching, as it allows us to develop new communication skills that we can then apply in our daily lives.
2. Relaxation
The impact of travel on our emotional state is immense. Travel lets us switch off from daily routines and set aside most of our usual responsibilities, because when planning a trip, we all give ourselves a “break” that we embrace without guilt. Stress and negative thoughts fade away, and our minds are free to enjoy the here and now, which usually translates into a constant flow of positive thoughts. The level of stress decreases and Increases our emotional well-being.
3. Comfort zone
The so-called “comfort zone” results from a combination of defence mechanisms that try to reduce our daily stress. As a result, we feel comfortable in our everyday lives; we already know what will happen. In everyday life we build a comfort zone where the brain feels at ease and follows familiar patterns. When we decide to travel, we automatically step outside this zone, and may initially feel some stress and anxiety. Over time, however, We will begin to enjoy, feel and experience things we had almost forgotten.. That comfort is broken, but we will soon feel much more capable of face new situations that give us a greater sense of capability and independence.
4. Increased self-esteem
Going to a place where no one knows us helps us build trust, because we develop ways to overcome obstacles and gain a sense of control and autonomy. Many people regain innate abilities they had lost, often related to interpersonal communication.
5. Open-mindedness
A narrow view of the world can make us think our way of seeing things is the only correct one. This lack of understanding often leads to fear and prejudice towards other ways of thinking. Travelling changes our surroundings: everything is unfamiliar, and we become much more open to listening and understanding. That is how we break old patterns and learn to engage with different cultures and become more tolerant.
6. Self-awareness
Leaving everyday thoughts behind creates mental space to recognise, listen to and value our needs. Self-knowledge is the fundamental journey of our lives, and travelling helps us discover our most authentic selves.
Travel helps you grow enormously as a person and discover your fears and what you are capable of in difficult situations. Stay curious: ask, observe, learn and immerse yourself in the unknown. Let travel change your life.
Any time of year is a good time to switch off. In Tuaregwe have scheduled departures all year round. Would you like to travel?
Northern Tanzania still has remote corners to discover on our Safari Tuareg: isolated Lake Natron, the Ikoma area in the Serengeti and, of course, Ngorongoro. An optional extension to Zanzibar rounds off this 15-day route.

Arrival at Kilimanjaro and meeting with our support team.
We will transfer to a nearby hotel for breakfast.
After breakfast we will head to Materuni, about 15 kilometres from Moshi. This is the last village before Kilimanjaro National Park. It is a unique and iconic spot, ideal for a gentle trek to the Materuni waterfalls with a local guide.
An introductory walk gives us the chance to get to know local life and enjoy the scenery. If we wish, we can also take a refreshing dip in a natural pool at the foot of the waterfall.
At midday, we will continue immersing ourselves in local culture over a picnic lunch, tasting a banana drink — a special beer from the Kilimanjaro area — and learning how it is made. During the excursion, we may enjoy views of Africa’s highest peak.
We leave this area and head to Arusha at the foot of Mount Meru, where we will spend the night, stopping to collect our luggage along the way.
Viajes Tuareg Tanzania safari, Lake Natron | Viajes Tuareg archive
Day 3 Arusha – Lake Natron
Breakfast at the lodge, enjoying views of Mount Meru's peaks. In the distance, we may even spot elephants in nearby Arusha Park.
We will collect our bags and head to the volcanic landscape of Lake Natron. Along the way, we will pass through several local communities, with Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai always in view (a sacred mountain for the Maasai and a place of pilgrimage where they pray for rain for their crops or other personal needs).
Optional: overnight trek up Ol Doinyo Lengai, the sacred mountain of the Maasai, to watch the sunrise from its summit (a demanding trek).
Note: Trekking participants will not be able to participate in the morning excursion the following day.
Day 4 Lake Natron
Breakfast at camp, then a visit to a Maasai village, home to pastoralists and proud warriors who maintain a traditional way of life. They will introduce us to their culture, customs and daily routines.
Later we will approach the shore of Lake Natron, known for its reddish colour and the countless flamingos that come from Lake Manyara to lay their eggs here. We can also visit a hot spring.
Later we will head to Lake Natron, stopping at the archaeological site known as “Engare Sero Footprints”, recently reported for the first time by National Geographic. It contains some of the earliest known hominin footprints, preserved by the weather conditions and volcanic eruptions in the region.
At noon we will return to camp for lunch and rest.
Later we set off again towards Ngarasero waterfall, where we can swim in the natural pool fed by water flowing down from Mount Ol Doinyo Lengai.
Day 5 Lake Natron – Serengeti.
We will leave the Lake Natron region behind, enjoying a final, incredible view of this vast body of water in the heart of the Rift Valley. The steadily climbing track will take us back to Tanzania’s highlands. We will see the landscape and vegetation change as we enter Sonjo territory. We will reach the town of Waso and, after a short stop, head towards northern Tanzania’s great park: the Serengeti.
As soon as we reach the Serengeti, we will enter the park through the Lobo area and its valley for a safari, looking out for lions, elephants, buffalo, giraffes, leopards, wildebeest and zebras.
The eagerly awaited big day. Early in the morning we will set off in search of the vast herds of the Great Migration, following their routes to the famous Mara River. Here we will try our luck at witnessing the spectacular river crossings by groups of wildebeest. On safari in this area we will see countless animals and large herds of zebras and wildebeest, followed by predators. In the river we will watch huge Nile crocodiles waiting for their opportunity.
We have a picnic lunch today to make the most of our time in the park. At sunset we return to camp to rest and spend the night on the savannah.
Day 7 Serengeti
Today we will have the chance to return to the Mara to watch more lines of animals crossing this great river.
We will then continue on a game drive towards the central area, also known as Seronera. Here we will explore the valley in search of big cats and other wildlife. We will continue exploring until sunset, when we transfer to our centrally located camp, with excellent views across the plains.
Day 8 Serengeti. Karatu
Today we take another safari through the Seronera Valley to see the animals waking up. With luck, we may also spot big cats in action.
We will continue exploring the park until midday. After lunch, we will head to Karatu, with a safari en route, and spend the night there.
At first light, we descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world's largest volcanic calderas. Formed after an enormous volcanic eruption, the caldera is a vast depression, filled with vegetation and enclosed by walls more than 600 metres high.
Inside, a remarkable collection of ecosystems—forests, lakes and savannahs—has formed within a diameter of 20 kilometres. With nearly 25 thousand animals of different species, we will search, among others, for the endangered black rhino.
On this safari we may see the Big Five. In the Munge River area, we will look out for the lions with darker manes. In this paradise we enjoy a picnic beside a swamp, watching hippos bathe.
In the afternoon, we will leave the caldera and return to the same accommodation, where a hot shower and a well-deserved dinner await.
Day 10 Visit Eyasi and Mto wa Mbu. Departure to Kilimanjaro.
Early today, we will have a quick coffee or tea and set off for Lake Eyasi to spend the day with the Hadzabe, a traditional hunter-gatherer people who speak a northwestern Khoisan language characterised by click sounds.
We will spend some time with a family to learn about their daily life. Later, we will meet the Ndatoga, a local pastoral people with a reputation as fierce warriors.
Finally, we will watch a blacksmith practising his ancestral craft, say our goodbyes and return to the lodge to collect our bags before heading to the multicultural town of Mto Wa Mbu.
Arrival around midday for a typical meal prepared by a local woman. After lunch, a local guide will take us to visit a primary school and an orphanage. We continue walking through the village and banana plantations, watching traditional Makonde woodcarvers at work. We will visit the local banana brewery and, if we wish, sample the beer.
After the visits, we set off towards the town in the Kilimanjaro area where we spend the night.
Transfer to the airport for the flight to Zanzibar. On arrival, transfer to the beach hotel.
Days 12 to 13 Zanzibar

The Kamili safari is our second option for a 15-day trip to Tanzania. This route brings together East Africa’s most interesting reserves in a single safari. We will follow the vast concentrations of herbivores moving between the immense Serengeti plains and the Maasai Mara Reserve. This tour gives us the chance to visit both sides of the border between Kenya and Tanzania to enjoy the wildlife spectacle. The trip ends on the idyllic island of Zanzibar.

Day 2 Arrival in Nairobi. Departure for Lake Naivasha. Safaris
We will arrive at the airport in the Kenyan capital very early in the morning. After completing arrival formalities, we will meet our staff, who will take us to the hotel for a shower and breakfast before starting the tour.
Our first destination is Lake Naivasha, one of the many lakes along the Rift Valley. We will arrive by mid-morning, as the journey takes around two hours. There will be time for a boat safari on the lake and a walking safari along its shores. With virtually no big cats, the park allows activities on foot, offering a closer connection with the surroundings than is possible elsewhere.
We leave Naivasha early in the morning and head south to the first major highlight of the route: the Maasai Mara reserve, undoubtedly one of the continent’s most visited parks. We will arrive in time for an afternoon safari before sunset.
Day 4 Full day in Masai Mara
We spend the day exploring the park from our camp in search of animals. The Mara is rich in biodiversity and, though challenging, it is possible to spot the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhinoceros).
We will also try to find the great migratory herds of herbivores moving in search of grazing.
We'll finish the day again at our camp.
Day 5 Departure for the border. Arrival at Lake Victoria
We leave the Maasai Mara behind and head west to Isebania, on the Tanzania–Kenya border. Here we change vehicles and staff before entering Tanzania. We end the journey at Speke Bay, on the shores of vast Lake Victoria, a freshwater sea around which the lives of many people in its basin revolve. We will reach our lakeside accommodation in the early afternoon, with time to settle in and take a walk to watch the sun set over the water.
Day 6 Boat trip on the lake. Departure for the Serengeti. Safari
Early in the morning we will board a boat to explore part of the bay, seeing the landscape from another perspective and watching local fishermen at work.
Later, we will set off for Serengeti National Park. Our safari begins as soon as we enter the park. Our camp is in the heart of the Serengeti, in the Seronera area.
Begoñaa delgado | Safaris in Tanzania, summer 2019
Day 7 Full day on safari. Departure for Ndutu (NCA)
We will dedicate this day to a full game drive. Alongside the wildlife, we can enjoy the Serengeti’s vast plains, where it is possible to appreciate the horizon dipping with the curvature of the Earth. Herbivores, big cats, birds and reptiles are spread across the park, and our aim is to come home with as many sightings as possible. Given the park’s size, we will rely on our guide’s skill and radio communications.
Late in the day we head to the Ndutu area, on the boundary between the Serengeti and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where we spend the night. This brings us closer to our next destination: Ngorongoro Crater.
Day 8 Safari in Ngorongoro Crater. Departure for Karatu
Early in the morning we will be among the first to descend into the Ngorongoro caldera (Ngorongoro is one of the many volcanoes, some active, in the conservation area that bears its name).
A game drive in Ngorongoro is one of the highlights of any East African safari. A relatively small area, less than 20 km in diameter, is home to resident populations of numerous species, earning it comparisons to Noah’s Ark. It is one of the few places in Tanzania where you can see rhinoceroses. Colonies of flamingos are often seen on the shores of Lake Magadi.
After the crater safari, we take the track uphill to Karatu and settle into our accommodation for two nights.
Day 9 Lake Eyasi: Hadzabe and Datoga experience. Return to Karatu
Our route takes on a different character today as we travel to the nearby Mangola Valley / Lake Eyasi. We aim to find a Hadzabé clan, a semi-nomadic ethnic group related to the San of the Kalahari, living in conditions not very different from those of the Neolithic period. We will try to accompany these hunter-gatherers on a hunt and observe their way of life in this harsh environment.
Nearby, we can visit a Datoga village. The Datoga are related to the Maasai but have adopted a settled way of life, based mainly on agriculture.
After the day we will return to our accommodation in the Karatu area.
Day 10 Visit to Mto wa Mbu and cycling in Manyara. Departure for Kilimanjaro.
On our last day, we will spend more time with local people. We head to the nearby town of Mto wa Mbu, the area’s commercial hub, where market stalls line the lively streets. We will explore the town and its market, and can also visit some traditional homes. Local “Mamas” will prepare our lunch today.
We will stretch our legs on a pleasant bike ride along the trails around Lake Manyara before returning to the vehicles and heading to our accommodation near Kilimanjaro Airport, where we will spend our last night.
Day 11 Flight to Zanzibar. Transfer to the beach
Breakfast and transfer to the airport to fly to Zanzibar. Arrival and transfer to the beach accommodation.
Days 12 to 13 Stay on the beach
Full days at the beach. Walks, swimming, island excursions and trips in a traditional dhow are some of the options.
Day 14 Airport transfer. Return flight
Depending on the flight departure time, transfer to the airport to check in and board the return flight.
Day 15 Arrival in your home city
After the connecting flights, arrival in your home city and end of the trip.
Staying in local homes, we travel from village to village, getting to know local people and their customs.
A spectacular, affordable and thoroughly enjoyable trip. Perhaps we should not say so ourselves, but we sincerely believe that our trip to Georgia has no rival.
I've already made the trip to Georgia, and now what?
Perhaps you opened this post to remember your experience in Georgia us, and of course, you want to come back. No problem: we have more in store for you!
The world is full of extraordinary places where children can discover the pleasure of travel. But depending on their age, we always face the same question: where should we go? We know many of you have doubts about travelling with younger children, because some journeys are long and involve intercontinental flights. We know because it happens to us too. Who doesn’t remember those endless…
We already have the first images and opinions ✅ of our first trip to China: Nature Walks in Eastern China. It seems we haven’t done too badly!!!
Alongside the cosmopolitan cities of the east, this route takes in the most spectacular sites in Central China: The pinnacles of Yangshuo and the Li River; the stone forest of Zhangjiajie and the Great Wall in the Jinshanling area. Masterpieces of nature that we will discover on varied, accessible walks, allowing us to get away from the local crowds.
We travel with a guide from our country who He's lived in China for years, he knows the language. and will help us understand the complex society of this destination.
China trip reviews – Trekking through eastern China
ARMAND N > September 2018 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A varied trip packed with activities. A good balance between culture and nature. The best of the trip: An exceptional guide who showed great interest and complete dedication to the group, helping us enjoy the trip to the full. Among the visits, I would highlight Tianmen Mountain, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, the treks in Longsheng, the Guilin cruise and the bike ride to Moon Hill.
ALEJANDRO F M > September 2018 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Excellent. We felt comfortable from the start, and our tour leader made sure everything ran smoothly. The trip lived up to the expectations set, and sometimes exceeded them. Our guide played an important part in this too. We also enjoyed simple things, such as a bicycle ride. We would do it again. The best of the trip: The combination of different elements. Truly imposing cities with places such as the Imperial City and the hutongs. The way the trip was organised allowed us to walk along the Great Wall at a relaxed pace and enjoy it, just as we did in the Longji area. The natural sites we visited retained their power and some of their character, even within the “scenic area” format that drives tourism in China and makes them accessible to so many people. And our guide Guillem: without him, it would have been a different trip.
SUSANA L > September 2018 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I think those people who like to combine cultural visits with walks will love it. It is quite impressive the mix of the old and the new: places with hundreds of years of history next to the skyscrapers and the most modern technology. The best of the trip: The dedication and passion of our guide. Thanks to Guillem, we were able to do more activities than originally planned and gain an insight into Chinese culture. He also joined us for every meal not included in the trip, bringing us closer to daily life in the country. I think he made the difference between a ‘good’ trip and a ‘very good’ one. Apart from the human connections, I would highlight the visit to the Great Wall. It is spectacular and well worth the bus journey to escape the areas most visited by tourists. Walking along it with hardly anyone around is priceless. Another highlight was walking through the Longsheng rice terraces. Words cannot describe it. The landscape's changing geometry at every step makes it magical!

As the saying goes, September is the month for the rich, but perhaps October is one of our favourite months for travel. As autumn begins, many of our destinations take on distinctive colours, displaying shades you will not see at other times of year.
For those lucky enough to travel in October, visitors even seem to receive better treatment, with fewer people queuing and fewer visitors at the main attractions.
With the arrival of autumn the trekking season in the Himalayas and northern Southeast Asia welcomes the end of the monsoons and the arrival of winter. In South America, it is an ideal time to travel, similar to our month of June, with few visitors and more affordable prices at the main tourist attractions.
> Small-group travel to Nepal > 15 days of trekking in the Himalayas > Departures on 5 and 19 October
The stages of this trek follow the “teahouse” trails, used by local people, through forests of bamboo and rhododendrons. This trip to Nepal is rounded off with visits to Pokhara, the valley of Kathmandu, National Park of Chitwan and the city where Buddha was born, Lumbini.
> Small-group travel to Peru > Optional Inca Trail trek > 17-day trip departing on 7 October
On this trip to Peru, we set off from Arequipa and begins the journey towards the Colca Canyon that continues to the lake Titicaca for overnight stays on the Peninsula of Capachica. The route continues through the Andes to Cuzco and the Sacred Valley, for ascend to Machu Picchu.

> Travel to Italy in a small group > 8 days of trekking and hiking > Trip departing on 7 October
A trip to Italy to the east of Sicily and the islands of Stromboli, Vulcano and Lipari. A combination of spectacular walks in a Mediterranean setting and an introduction to volcanic phenomena and archaeological remains Greeks, Romans and Byzantines.
> Travel to Vietnam and Angkor in a small group > Journey of history and archaeology > Vietnam, departing on 7 and 18 October
An intensive, active trip to Vietnam, seeking out rural villages in the Sapa mountains and on An Binh Island in the middle of the delta, combined with visits to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh. The journey ends in Cambodia, in the temples of Angkor. For those who want to end the trip on the beach, these days can be replaced with a stay on the peaceful tropical island of Phu Quoc.
Year after year we review our itineraries and listen to suggestions from travellers and local partners to find out what we can improve on our trips. We know it can be hard to find time to share your views, so we created the traveller feedback prize draw with a chance to win 200 euros for giving us your impressions of the trip.
We have received thousands of reviews since we started this project in 2012. Some have been decisive factors in changes to our routes and most help us improve details that would otherwise escape our attention.
Sometimes, your suggestions and opinions make us look up from our desks, look up at the sky, stretch out your arms and smile with satisfaction ;). Many things can go wrong on a trip: bad weather, delays, vehicle breakdowns and even clashing personalities within the group can stop it being that “perfect trip” you fondly recall with friends.
Paloma S. sends us her opinions and comments about trip to Peru organised by Viajes Tuareg this summer and we want to share them with you because these are the reviews that give us a real sense of satisfaction and encourage us to keep improving our routes.
How did you hear about our trip?
On recommendation.
Suggestions for future trips:
Keep offering such interesting routes to other destinations and reward regular customers with lower prices where possible.
Impressions of the trip of interest to other travellers
Very good. It met my expectations. A fantastic trip that I would recommend to anyone wanting to explore part of Peru.
The best of the trip:
The organisation, the logistics and everyone involved in making it possible, especially Joana, our guide for the whole trip, Rómulo, the guide in Puno, and Calisto’s family on Lake Titicaca. Our fellow travellers were exceptional too. Being of similar ages and having similar travel experience really helped us get on well.
