Overview
Welcome to a world where the colors are vivid, the landscapes are bold, the coastline is dramatic, the history is compelling, and the aromas are exotic. This is Vietnam, the latest Asian dragon to awake from its slumber.
During this trip, you will explore the northern part of Vietnam: an area that is less touristic and much more authentic. You will interact with various ethnic groups, walking, for a few days, in their shoes, while you will be surrounded by endless rice fields and forest-covered mountains. The stories of the people, the taste of the food, and the serenity of the landscape will turn this week into an unforgettable experience.
