The Cu Chi's tunnels are an incredible underground network of 250km that Vietnamese guerilla soldiers dug from 1948 to 1975 to fight the South Vietnamese government and American soldiers. It's the tunnels not only for flighting but also for living. We depart at 8:00 am from the hotel and drive on a vehicle out of bustling Saigon City before cycling through several hamlets and rubber plantations to Cu Chi Tunnels. See workers harvest natural latex rubber and stop at a local home to see how rice paper is made.
Arrival at Tunnels: We'll watch a documentary about tunnels during the Vietnam War. Following are booby traps, secret entrances, fighting bunkers, and air holes before we explore three levels of the tunnels, weapon gallery, and shooting range. We'll have lunch at a cozy restaurant by the Saigon River before returning to Saigon in the afternoon.
