All about Cu Chi tunnels by Luân. - Visiting the tunnels of Cu Chi was undoubtedly one of the most striking experiences I had in Vietnam. From the very beginning, I felt transported back into the past, living in the skin the ingenuity and resilience of the Vietnamese fighters during the war. The guided tour of Luân was fundamental to understanding the complexity of this impressive underground network, which extends over more than 200 kilometers in the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City. The visit allowed me to see how Vietnamese soldiers and civilians survived in extremely difficult conditions, using the tunnels as hiding places, communication routes, weapons depots, hospitals and even kitchens, all underground. I was fascinated by the creativity and skill demonstrated in reusing undetonated bombs to make ingenious traps, as well as the camouflage and communication systems that allowed the Vietnamese to move and resist for so long. Our guide explained and showed real examples of these traps and tricks, making the experience even more real and immersive. I also had the opportunity to enter the tunnels, a physical and psychological challenge that gave me a small sample of the difficulties faced by those who lived there for months. The sense of claustrophobia and the muggy environment are indescribable, and only reinforce respect for those who survived in these conditions. At the end, we tasted the mandioca with peanut, the basic food of the combatants, and attended a brief presentation on the history of the region, thus completing an educational and exciting experience. I highly recommend this tour to those who visit Ho Chi Minh City. It is a lesson of living history, excellently conducted by our guide Luân, who made everything even more interesting with his knowledge and sympathy.
