Trekking part : A seven - day trek leads us to beautiful lush landscapes, meeting with many hill-tribal groups who are always smiling and cheerful (namely the Colorful Hmong, the Thai, the Phu La and the Dao people). The homestay overnight and the weekly market bring us to discover their rich centuries-old traditional culture.
Classic visit : This journey also combines not-to-miss sites in Hanoi, Halong, Hue, Hoi An and Saigon, which makes the trek even more worthwhile. Varying landscape and diverse culture, this is a comprehensive image of Vietnam.
