Itinerary

Itinerary

Myanmar, the Jewel of Asia, is one of the most photogenic and least crowded destinations on the planet. Over 12 days we will travel through three unique settings: Yangon and its golden pagodas, Inle Lake with its distinctive rowing fishermen and its floating gardens declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the plains of Bagan, where more than 3,000 temples and stupas stretch to the horizon. Every sunrise before the temples, every monk procession at dawn and every sunset over the Irrawaddy River is an image you will not find anywhere else in the world. All of this alongside Juanra Noriega, with genuine access to local culture and time to photograph without rushing.
