Saigon - Cai Be -Xeo Quyt forest - Cao Lanh

An early set off at 7:00 AM after you are met at your accommodation in HCMC, then an hour A/C van driving you to Long An province. On your first day cycle, beautiful ride will start in Tan An’ rural village. We start cycling along country paths going through villages, rice paddies, corn farms and vegetable to My Tho. On your riding, there will be many stops at local markets to enjoy fresh fruits and cold drinks. The morning cycle isabout 25km. After lunch, you take a nap when vehicle taking you to small rural village by the river for the afternoon bicycle ride. There are beautiful country paths along villages and rivers to Xeo Quyt. You’ll find yourself on quiet country back roads and tracks skirting the edges of winding creeks and fields of rice, observing the activity at markets alongside canals, and discovering local lives and enjoying scenery all the way to Xeo Quyt forest. It was the heart of the Viet Cong resistance to the U.S. We’ll need to take ferries to get to the area of the former Xeo Quyt base, which lies under the canopy of a huge cajuput forest. From there a former Viet Cong soldier who was stationed there will take us by rowboat to see the actual base and its small tunnel network, and relate the story of his and his comrades’ time there as we consider the sacrifices made. If time permitted we continue our ride on country back road to Urban Dist before a transfer taking us to hotel.
