Trips to fall in love with autumn on six continents

About to celebrate forty years leading guided group tours from Barcelona, Eurovacation Trips proposes a program for the months of September, October and November in which the long journey is the protagonist - without forgetting getaways both European and closer to the Iberian Peninsula.

September and October are the ideal months to travel away from crowds, enjoying days with plenty of daylight hours and mild temperatures in Europe. In addition, the light of these months and the color of nature—which leaves behind the greens of spring and summer to offer us bright shades of yellow and red—make trips like those of Baltic republics —touring through Lahemaa National Park—, Albania and Macedonia —the unknown jewels of the Balkans—, the Aosta Valley, in Italy, in the middle of the four giants of the Alps, and Asturias -with the 4x4 tour of the Covadonga lakes-, are truly spectacular.

Two trips deserve special mention where the importance of autumn elevates the discovery from "great journey" to "unique journey." One of them is the Japan, where attention is sometimes focused only at the end of March, for the cherry blossoms, and autumn is also an ideal time to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, Kanazawa and Takayama. The other is the trip to Norway, just as the season for viewing the unique phenomenon of the Northern Lights in the Arctic sky begins.

Eurovacation offers you a combination of proposals for October that are not only European, but also extend the offer to three continents. In America, with a tour of the USA which combines the city of Chicago - with its architectural wealth - with the states of Texas and Louisiana. Secondly, Africa, with a trip to Tunisia: a fascinating immersion in the culture and history of North Africa, from the Roman ruins of Carthage to the walled streets of the Tunis medina, the Sahara Desert and its spectacular landscapes (such as the dunes of Douz and the oasis of Tozeur), and the uniqueness of the troglodyte villages. And finally, the Asian continent, with several proposals ranging from the Nepal to China and Indonesia.

Now if you want to stay closer, check out the trip of Galicia where, always staying at Paradores Nacionales, you will walk along the coastal paths, sail the waters of the Sil, stroll through Bayonne, A Toxa, Tui and Muros and contemplate the majestic cathedral of Santiago. Or in Romania, where a wide variety of tourist attractions combine nature, history, and culture. Bran Castle, known as Dracula's Castle, is one of the most iconic; Bucharest, the capital, stands out for its Parliament Palace, while the Carpathian Mountains offer spectacular landscapes, and Transylvania, which impresses with medieval cities such as Braşov, Sibiu, and Sighioara.

And if what you want is a long-distance trip, save yourself two weeks in November. With the help ofEurovacation You will be able to enjoy a unique trip to a Southeast Asian classic such as Thailand, the land of eternal smiles that pioneered tourism in this region. Here you'll not only relive the power of its vibrant and dynamic capital, Bangkok, the architecture of the various temples in the historic city of Chiang Mai, and the archaeological parks of Sukotai and Ayutthaya, but you'll also discover lesser-known natural sites like Khao Sok National Park and the beaches of Khanom, on the Gulf of Tano. All this in a country where sustainable tourism is being promoted with major initiatives to preserve its natural, cultural, and culinary resources.

Or the unique fifteen days contemplating the majestic silhouette of Torres del Paine, feeling the fall of the Perito Moreno ice blocks, sailing through the Southern Ice Fields aboard the cruise ship Skorpios III, touring the big circuit in Bariloche and letting yourself be seduced by the cosmopolitan and vibrant city of Buenos Aires. A journey that runs through the Patagonia -both Argentine and Chilean-, the geographical, historical, and cultural region located in the southernmost part of the South American continent. Or, perhaps, without leaving the American continent, a first trip to Mexico —an American country with more than 129 million inhabitants in almost 2 million square kilometers— to discover its cultural and monumental heritage, whether in the colonial centers of Querétaro, San Miguel de Allende or Campeche, or in the impressive archaeological sites of Teotihuacán, Palenque, Uxmal and Chichén Itzá, an environment full of color of its traditions. Or in Guatemala, land of eternal spring, the heart of Mayan civilization.

And, as a final proposal, thanks to the success it had last year, this travel agency that has three offices in Barcelona, Granollers and Girona opens its doors for you to discover Saudi Arabia. Walk around its capital, Riyadh, and discover the rock formations of Al-Ula and the famous city of Madain Saleh, known as Hegra (UNESCO World Heritage), as well as the dynamic coastal city of Jidda and the emblematic holy city of Medina, will take you on a unique experience.
