N'ayant pas trouvé bcp d'infos sur Esperito Santo et comptant nous y rendre en Novembre, y-a t-il quelqu'un qui pourrait nous fournir des détails sur cet état, et sur les choses à faire et à voir. (excursions en fôret, plages à ne pas louper, lieux historiques...etc)

Une autre question concerne l'ile d'ihla grande : est-elle vraiment agréable d'un point de vue fréquentation touristique en Novembre(pas un peu trop de monde ?) Peut-être y-a t-il des iles comparables mais un peu moins connue et un peu plus éloignée de Rio ?

Merci d'avance pour vos réponses que nous éspérons nombreuses.😉

Bonjour,

Quelqu'un connait-t-il le prix à la journée d'un guide touristique officiel dans le nord de la thaïlande.

Je viens de passer 15 jours au Brésil : Salvador, Brasilia, amazonie, ouro preto, iguacu et rio. Genial... J'ai l'impression d'avoir visité plusieurs pays en trés peu de temps. Le rythme était trés soutenu (11 avions différents en 15 jours), mais je suis passé d'une ville africaine à la forêt tropicale, de villes modernes ou coloniales baroques aux plus belles chutes d'eau du monde (j'ai vu niagara et victoria...)pour finir par la "ville merveilleuse"... j'ai chassé les piranhas et les caimans en amazonie, survolé les chutes d'iguacu en hélicoptère, navigué dans la baie de tous les saints à salvador, assisté à un spectacle de samba à rio, admiré les pierres précieuses et semi-précieuses dans le minas gerais😎, mangé dans des churascarias 😛, vu brasilia de la tour de la télévision (j'ai vu l'avion), dit bonjour au christ du corcovado, pris le petit train du pain de sucre et flané sur les plages de copacabana et ipanema En un mot : sublime Je craignais un peu avant de partir au sujet des problémes de sécurité. En étant normalement prudente (pas d'étalage de bijoux ou de dollars, sortie le soir uniquement en taxis, éviter les quartiers chauds...) j'ai passer ces 15 jours sans problémes. Les brésiliens sont accueillants (surtout si vous essayer de parler en "portugnol")et heureux de vivre... La temperature était idéale : entre 20 et 27° sauf amazonie : 32° Les paysages sont trés beaux et trés variés. Nous n'avons pas été trés génés par les moustiques en amazonie (un conseil pour choisir l'hotel de jungle : préférez un lieu situé sur le rio negro, les eaux noires attirent moins les moustiques que les eaux jaunatres), mais emmenez tout de même vos produits anti moustiques...

conclusion : allez au Brésil, vous ne serez pas déçus !😎

Nos billet d'avion sont acheté depuis mai dernier. Il s'agit de notre 3e périples en Asie du Sud - Est, le 2e en Thailande. Puis, à 1, 5 mois du départ voila la tuile, je me brise la jambe gauche en trois (ouch!) pendant un trek en foret ici au Québec. Diagnostic: Fracture du tibia et du péroné. Rapidement on me place une tige de métal pour sodifié l'os. Je supplie le Doc !!! Je doit partir en voyage, OK finit le pleurnichage.

JE PART !!!!

De toute facon la Thailande est sans doute le pays du coin ou il est le plus facile de voyager easy non ? Ma chance c'est que ce ne soit pas arriver l'an passé, nous avons été au Philippines !

On ajustera que je me dit. Au diable (pour cette fois) les treks du nord et du Laos (Je salivait à l'idée de faire Vientiane-Vang Vien-Luang Phrabang) mais bon.

Nous partons (ma copine et moi) pour 40 jours, et rassurer vous je n'aurais pas la jambe dans le platre. J'aurais le droit de macher depuis 1 semaine lors de notre départ.

Vous avez des Sug ?

J'ai eu bon vent de:

Ko Chang + Sud Cambodge (Shianoukville) Ko Samet (pour la fin du voyage - près de BKK) Ko Lanta + Phi Phi + Krabi (un triangle accessible en bateau à mois de 2 heures chancunes)

Nous avons déjà été à Phuket et à Ray Lei + Phranang

Merci d'avance

Hi there,

I’m planning a trip to Cambodia and was set on visiting the Ratanakiri region, which seemed to match what we love most in terms of landscapes: forests, jungle, greenery...

However, as I started looking into the area, I read that deforestation there is massive, and some of the info on the topic is years old—the situation hasn’t improved since, unfortunately.

So my question is: is Ratanakiri still worth visiting, and does it justify the long travel time and distance to get there?

I’ve seen that jungle treks are possible, but from experience, I know guides sometimes hesitate to venture deep into the forest and stick to shorter walks along the edges of parks.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hi everyone, I’m heading to Madagascar in early October to cycle from Tana to Diego along the east coast. I really want to visit the Masoala Peninsula and its primary forest. If anyone’s interested, I’m open to company. Maybe see you soon!

I’m planning my 6th bike trip. After crossing France, Spain, and Portugal, my last leg brought me to Fes. In November, I’m heading out again for about 1,000 km through the Atlas Forest and the desert. Have you done any bike trips before? If so, get in touch—I’ll share the Komoot route with you. See you soon

hi there, I’ve never been to Martinique. my girlfriend, who’s of Martinican origin, has never had the chance to go either (life isn’t always easy). now we can plan a little trip, but we don’t know which airline to choose or how to find accommodation.

basically, I need quite a few tips.

we’re planning to go in September—no chance before that.

Hi there, We’re spending 3 weeks in Brazil, arriving in São Paulo—a couple plus a teen—and we’ll have a rental car. We especially love nature: hiking, wildlife watching, birds, etc. We’re planning to wrap up with a week around Paraty and Ilha Grande. We’re not really into visiting big cities like São Paulo or Rio unless you think we’d be missing out big time.

So we’ve got 2 weeks to explore the south/southwest region of São Paulo. What do you recommend? National parks? Off-the-beaten-path nature spots? Iguazu Falls?

Thanks in advance for all your tips!

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip of at least one month in August-September in Northern South America, with the main focus being wildlife discovery, especially birds.

I haven’t set the exact destination or dates yet. It’ll depend on flight opportunities, my budget (3000-4000 €), and the people I decide to travel with.

I’m particularly looking into options in Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, and French Guiana. Some possibilities: - Ecuador: Mindo (cloud forest, foothills of the Andes) 🇪🇨 - Colombia: coastal forests of Santa Marta, Los Nevados National Park, Antioquia, coastal rainforest of Chocó 🇨🇴 - Brazil: Pantanal (budget permitting), Northeast (between São Luís and Salvador) 🇧🇷 - French Guiana: Kaw Marshes, Petit Saut, Mana, Matoury, Saint-Laurent-du-Maroni 🇬🇫

I’m looking for: 1 or 2 companions to share this adventure. 🦉 Birdwatching enthusiasts or those interested in other taxa (all levels) and/or wildlife photography lovers; 🎒 a bit of a rugged, curious, and enthusiastic spirit. No age limit, but good physical shape for relaxed nature hikes.

The plan: mix guided birdwatching tours in small groups, lodges for intense nature observation, with periods of independent travel. Budget: 3500-4000 € per person, flights included. Proposed timeframe: August-September 2026

Everything’s still flexible. Important to get to know each other and chat before we go (in person or via Zoom/Teams). If you’re interested, send me a message! 🦉

Hi everyone,

We’re making a family dream come true: spending a month in Brazil from July 19 to August 20. We’ll land in Rio and spend 6 days there (we’ve finalized a home exchange for a lovely apartment in the Copacabana neighborhood). After that, we’re heading to Minas Gerais by rental car for 11 days (Tiradentes, Ouro Preto, and the Inhotim Institute), then the Costa Verde, and finally 2 days in São Paulo.

We’ll be traveling with our three kids, ages 17, 14, and 9, who are real travelers and good hikers. Goes hand in hand, right? 😄

For now, we’ve planned to visit Ilha Grande (4 days) and then Paraty and its surroundings (3 days). What do you think? Ilha Grande appealed to us for its hikes and beaches, but couldn’t we do that along Paraty’s coast? I’ve read mixed reviews about Ilha Grande...

Thanks for your tips, opinions, and anything else! !

Hello!

After a long travel hiatus, we’re (finally) back on the road for some getaways! Now with two kids in tow, we’re heading to Thailand for two weeks next February (a destination that’s stood us up twice before but seems perfect for our first big family trip).

We’d have loved to stay longer, but two weeks is already a great start and will be plenty enjoyable.

Key points: - Experience Thailand, not just live our usual routine in Thailand - Avoid crowds as much as possible, even though February will be busy - Not big city fans, so Bangkok (BKK) will be kept to a minimum - Focus on nature, the sea, forests, waterfalls, hiking, kayaking...

At this stage, here’s the rough itinerary I’m considering: - Arrival at 7 AM + a day in BKK

- DEPART for SURAT THANI (BUS) - Transfer + Khao Sok (overnight on the lake / in the trees)

- RETURN to Ko Samui - Transfer to Koh Pha Ngan or Koh Tao (snorkeling)

- RETURN to Khao Lak. While there: * Visit Ao Phang Nga Park by kayak * Excursion to caves / Ko Khao Phing Kan (the "007 beach" lol) * ALTERNATIVE = SIMILAN ISLANDS

- RETURN to KRABI or Koh Phi Phi * Visit Koh Hong or Koh Yao Yai

* Flight from SURAT THANI to BKK - If time left in BKK: - Explore BKK: Wat Pho / floating market / Maeklong Railway Market / Chinatown... - Or a day trip to Ayutthaya - Or a day at Erawan Waterfall (Haew Suwat) - Day +1 = Return to France

Questions I’m pondering: - Is this too ambitious? I think it might be... but since we’d rather see as much as possible than just lounge on a beach... - How to get around on this route? Bus or rental vehicle (which I’d prefer to avoid) - Are there any inconsistencies in the plan I’ve outlined? - Should I adjust any connections or prioritize differently? - Krabi vs. Koh Phi Phi? - Koh Hong vs. Koh Yao Yai?

We’ve booked the first night (using some leftover backpacking perks), but nothing else—so open to all ideas!

If you know a local agency that can offer advice (for a fee), that could work too, since the options feel endless...

Thanks so much for reading this far, and even more if you’ve got tips or suggestions to share!! Best wishes ;)

Hello,

We’re really keen on ecosystems and want to hike in "natural" ancient forests—not planted woods or areas heavily degraded by human activity. Travel guides (like Lonely Planet) don’t provide much info on this. Could you point us to the most interesting spots? Thanks in advance for your tips. We wish you happy holidays and a fantastic 2026, full of discoveries! Claire and Albert

Last year, I stumbled upon a "nature reserve" in the Waterberg by sheer luck. Just one night, but I was so thrilled that I went back this year for three nights. It was perfect for breaking up the trip between Marakele and Mapungubwe. The Waterberg is the Limpopo of game farms, hunting farms... and places trying to attract clients from Joburg and Kruger, with varying levels of ethics. The roads aren’t always great, potholes are everywhere, and Google Maps is pretty unreliable. But in my case, I found exactly what I was looking for...

As often happens, old farms have been grouped together to create a nature reserve that doesn’t sell you "wild" lions, has no rhinos (protecting rhinos is complicated), no elephants, and no buffalo. So, antelopes, elusive leopards, hyenas (didn’t see any), peaceful giraffes, warthogs, etc.—just general game! What’s the point? Well, you go for walks or hikes with game drives... you bike... you chill. You get out of the car. For us this year, a gorgeous "house," fully equipped, on the edge of the forest, with wood for the fire and a plain as the view... An unbeatable quality-to-price ratio in a natural setting! A little photo dump for the vibe. You’ve gathered that part of the exploration is by car (it’s big) and part on foot...

Good evening, We go on a cycling trip abroad every year for about twenty days. Obviously, we prefer small roads to discover a country. Is it possible to explore Poland mainly by taking small roads? Apart from the beautiful cities (Kraków, Warsaw, etc.), are there any regions worth discovering by bike? Thanks in advance for your replies. Jean-lucbergot

Hi there, I’ll be in Chile in 15 days, and I just found out I need to register my mobile phone on the multibanda site. Can I do this before I leave, or do I have to wait until I’m in Chile? Thanks for your help!

Hi, What would be the best villages and beaches to visit between Nice and Marseille in 4 days?

Hi! I arrive in Vancouver on August 24, 2025, and I’m staying until Friday, August 29, 2025—the day I take *The Canadian* train to Toronto.

I’m exploring several things in Vancouver, including whale watching—if you’ve got any great tips, don’t hesitate! Thanks!

Hey there, fellow riders, I’m really keen on a motorcycle trip to Morocco, specifically the Middle Atlas. Does anyone have any info or tips on this idea? Planning to go in September or October... Looking forward to hearing from you! Christine

Hi fellow travelers, We're heading to Martinique for a month from mid-January to mid-February. Our plan is to explore the island by staying in three different spots for 10 days each, on both sides of the island... Could you share some great tips on where to stay for an authentic experience and what we absolutely must see?!

Thanks for your help! Voyamie.

Hi,

I’m planning a trip at the end of October/beginning of November to meet up with friends in Penang. My itinerary includes 2 days in Singapore, 2 days in Kuala Lumpur, 2 nights in Malacca, 2 days in Penang, and 4 days in Bali. Originally, I had planned a side trip from Ipoh (1 night) to pass through Cameron Highlands and especially to see Mossy Forest. But I just realized it’s not Taman Negara. So now I’m not sure if I should just cancel this excursion or still go to Mossy Forest. Is Ipoh worth it, Cameron Highlands (knowing I’ve already visited tea plantations in Sri Lanka), and the primary forest? Thanks for your help

Hi there,

When landing in Warsaw (WAW) in the middle of the day, is it possible to reach Bialowieza by public transport before nightfall? Or is it better to spend the night in Warsaw or Bialystok?

In August, is it easy to find accommodation/homestays in Bialowieza without booking in advance? What about the other parks in the area?

Thanks in advance! 🙂

Friday, April 18 Night in Guwahati Before leaving the guesthouse, I drop off a small bag that I’ll pick up when I return. I take a tuk-tuk at 7:40 AM to get to the sumo departure point for Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya. My bag is loaded onto the roof, my seat is assigned, and we have to wait for the car to fill up.



While waiting, I watch the street come to life. I have fun photographing the different modes of transport passing by.









Time passes faster when you’re occupied. We leave at 8:20 AM, and the driver does door-to-door service along the way. We make our first stop for 25 minutes at 9:10 AM, then another for breakfast at 10:10 AM. The scenery is very different from Assam and Nagaland. We drive alongside a pine forest and a large lake. There are beautiful viewpoints, but the driver isn’t stopping for sightseeing, so I have to settle for looking through the car windows.

We finally arrive in Shillong at 11:45 AM. The driver stops in the middle of nowhere, so I have to walk up the street to find a taxi. I flag one down, and he agrees to take me to my new guesthouse, the Rockski Boutique Bed & Breakfast. No sooner do I arrive than a storm with a heavy downpour welcomes me. When I arrived in Guwahati at the end of October, I’d booked a guide with a car for this week. There’s no public transport to get from village to village, so I had to take a car to visit. The tourism manager, Sachin, sent me a message to let me know that the driver, Welbis, will pick me up tomorrow morning at 8 AM. The temperature is much cooler here—only 19°C. At 2:30 PM, the rain stops, and I take the opportunity to explore the city. I start with the cathedral. Today is Good Friday, so I’m going to see how it’s celebrated here. Meghalaya is a Catholic state. The cathedral isn’t far from the guesthouse—it’s huge and all blue.



I arrive during mass, and it’s impossible to enter—the faithful are numerous outside in the parking lot. Giant screens broadcast the ceremony.

Hi there, fellow travelers,

My mom and I are heading to Indonesia on July 11, 2025, for a month. We’ll spend 15 days in Borneo (Kalimantan) and 15 days in Sulawesi. We’re traveling with backpacks and really want to meet locals and experience their culture. We have a layover in Singapore before flying to Borneo, but we’re not sure yet which part of the island we’d like to land in.

I’m looking for the most up-to-date info possible because our research results are pretty confusing. Initially, we wanted to focus on the Indonesian side of the island, but we’re finding way more info on the Malaysian side (better tourist infrastructure). We’re feeling a bit lost...

Our priority is a 4-5 day trek max. We also want to connect with an English-speaking guide to explore Borneo’s primary forest and its wildlife. Ideally, we’d like to venture into the island’s center. But we might not have the time (given the lack of infrastructure and long distances—we don’t have 15 days just for a trek) or the physical stamina to get there. Still, we’d love to get off the beaten path and avoid pricey, touristy excursions. From our research, we’ve come across 3-day, 2-night trips on longboats or 4x4s (e.g., orangutans in Tanjung Puting) for 400 to 500 €. But that’s way out of our budget, and we think it’s too expensive. We get that as tourists with higher incomes than locals, we should pay more—but there’s a limit, especially compared to the cost of living in Indonesia. We want to avoid tour operators and crowds of tourists. Our goal is to see what’s left of Borneo’s preserved and wild tropical forest and observe animals in their natural habitat. If we don’t see any during a trek, oh well—we’ll take our chances.

On the Malaysian side, there’s Danum Valley, and on the Indonesian side, places like Gunung Palung, Betung Kerihun, and Kayan Mentarang...

What do you think?

Does anyone have any tips?

Has anyone here met indigenous communities on the island?

Does anyone know a friendly local guide?

We’d love any extra info on Borneo and Sulawesi! ;)

Take care!

Hi there, I’m planning our trip for February 2026. I’ve done my homework, but I’d still love your insights in case I’ve missed anything.

Arrival in Stone Town – 1 night

Jambiani – 6 nights. Activities with a guide: Mnemba, Safari Blue Mangrove, Nakupenda sandbank, etc. Without a guide, we’re thinking of renting bikes on the beach, visiting Maalum Cave, Jozani Forest ??? (no strong opinions), N’tende ??? What do you think? Quad biking?

Nungwi – 3 nights, mostly chilling and a sunset boat ride.

Last day: on the way to the airport, visit Stone Town and a spice farm.

For Jambiani, I was considering Garden Beach Bungalow. Any other accommodation recommendations?

Thanks a million for your feedback...

We're heading to the US in October and planning to take a boat ride on the bayou. We don’t want to fall into tourist traps with big boats—we’d prefer a more intimate experience. I can manage in French, but I know that’s not always possible. My English isn’t great.

We’re torn between: - Annie Miller's in Houma - Zam's Swamp or Torres Cajun in Thibodaux - Cajun Style in Marrero

Unless you have another spot to recommend. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi everyone,

We’re heading to Corsica for 10 days from April 26 to May 5 as a family with two boys aged 8 and 12. We’ll arrive in Calvi and stay for 7 nights in the hills above L’Île-Rousse. Then we’ll have 2 nights left (accommodation not yet booked) before flying out from Ajaccio.

Of course, we’d like to explore and do a few hikes that are kid-friendly.

Some of the places we’ve shortlisted: - the towns of L’Île-Rousse, Calvi, Saint-Florent, and Corte - the villages of Balagne - the Agriates Desert (Ostriconi beach by car, and Lotu by boat with a hike to Saleccia) - Restonica Gorge - a boat trip to Piana and Scandola

For the last part of the trip, I’m really unsure about: - where to stay? - what to visit? I’d thought about staying near Ajaccio and visiting the Sanguinaires Islands and doing a few hikes along the coast, but I’d also spotted some great options inland around Evisa, like the Aitone Forest, for example.

We’ll return the rental car on May 3 at 10 AM in Monticello and fly out from Ajaccio on May 5 at 7:40 PM.

We’ve rented a car for the whole 10 days.

I’ll admit I’m posting this out of convenience because I’ve been *terrible* at planning this trip and could really use your advice—especially about distances and what’s doable without rushing or spending all our time in the car.

Thanks in advance! Have a great day.

Three of our grandchildren came to spend the last weekend of the holidays at our house. With her driver’s license just in hand, the oldest took her sister and a cousin along. I was talking about VoyageForum, and the conversation turned to AI, which finds writing travel journals a breeze—churning out amazing ads for this or that country and even nudging tourists to visit one place over another.

Jules: "It’s crazy, you can plan and organize everything, then just add your photos and the AI’s text, and boom—you’ve got something great." Héloïse: "What a cheat for yourself and for others." (She’s so wise!) Gaïané: "Ugh, no more surprises. It even picks the restaurants—so lame."

I had this idea to stay on the theme of travel journals:

I found an excerpt from a book (I’ll let you guess the title and author—of course, the kids figured it out in two seconds with their phones), then I wrote my own version, and finally, the AI generated its own using a few keywords.

Here they are:

"We walked at dusk through the thick, dark forest. Sometimes, a clearing would reveal a dreamlike landscape. A magical world, far from humans. A world of frozen waterfalls, stiff fir trees, and sharp peaks slicing through the blinding whiteness of the air.

We gazed, dazzled, at the spectacle, imagining we’d left the human world behind and joined that of the spirits."

"For days, we walked through the half-darkness of dense, untouched forests, then suddenly, a clearing would unveil landscapes you only see in dreams. Sharp peaks piercing the sky, icy torrents, giant waterfalls—an entire fantastical world, blindingly white, rising above the dark line traced by the giant fir trees. We stared at this extraordinary sight, speechless, awestruck, ready to believe we’d reached the limits of the human world and stood at the threshold of the spirits’ realm."

"We walked through the mountain, wild and unyielding, its sharp peaks tearing the sky like honed blades. Giant waterfalls roared and foamed, as if the earth’s hidden forces were pouring out. Higher still, the blinding whiteness belonged to the world of spirits—capricious beings whispering to lost travelers. Faced with this silent vastness, we felt tiny, uninvited guests meditating on the invisible that dwells in these forbidden peaks."

And, amazingly, they unanimously agreed that the author’s excerpt was a thousand times more poetic. Héloïse, my history buff, said: "Nothing replaces the real travel experience." Jules said: "Yeah, but it does the job. Even if the excerpt is cool." And our oldest added: "It makes you want to go there—not at all like the other two versions. Sorry, Mamido."

And then, miracle—Jules asks: "Do you have the book? Can I borrow it?"

I’m so relieved—young people aren’t completely devoured by technology yet. And the forum will keep its charm and usefulness for a long time. Phew!

You agree, right?
