Hoi An

Vietnam - After leaving Hoi An, your first stops are at a 1000 year old Cham temple and the former US and French bases from the independence wars.

Then, you will wind your way into the mountains through luxurious tea plantations, which are home to the people of the Co Tu minority.

You will have a short break to enjoy a stop at a tea plantation before visiting one of the few remaining Co Tu woodcarvers and his family. You will enjoy a home cooked lunch in their house before keeping on your journey deep into the mountains. The culture and traditions of this very isolated area remain essentially untouched by time; making this remote and staggeringly charming region home to one of the most authentic hill tribes remaining in Vietnam.

Co Tu village

Vietnam - In the morning, you will wake up when the sounds of the village come to life. You will watch the morning activities of the Co Tu heading out into the fields and preparing the days meals while enjoying breakfast and a hot cup of coffee. Next, you will say goodbye to your BhoHoong hosts and head back out onto the winding mountain roads. Making a stop at another Co Tu village, you will enjoy the brocade weavers, a craft that the Co Tu people are famous for. After that, you will embark on the historic Ho Chi Minh Trail, through lush forests and past breathtaking views of the central Vietnam Mountains. Just when you think it couldn’t get any more beautiful, you will arrive at a waterfall tucked alongside a towering peak for a picnic lunch.
The afternoon sees you descending back down toward the coast, having a short stop along the way to discover historic sites and places of interest, before heading east to Hoi An.
