Ca Mau, the southernmost province of Vietnam, is home to the country's most iconic southern landmark, Cape Ca Mau. Located at the very edge of the nation, this remarkable destination symbolizes the end of Vietnam's mainland and where the vast Mekong Delta meets the sea. Approximately 40% of Ca Mau's land area is influenced by saltwater. Parts of these coastal wetlands have been developed into aquaculture and fish farms, while much of the province remains covered by extensive mangrove forests that stretch along river mouths and the coastline. These unique ecosystems create one of the most important natural landscapes in Southeast Asia.

Situated about 300 kilometers southwest of Ho Chi Minh City, Ca Mau attracts far more domestic visitors than international travelers. The region offers an authentic glimpse into Vietnam's southern waterways, rich biodiversity, and traditional coastal livelihoods. Nature lovers can explore the renowned U Minh Ha National Park and the neighboring U Minh Thuong National Park, famous for their cajuput forests and wetlands. On the eastern coast lies Dat Mui National Park, where dense mangrove forests meet the East Sea. Since 2010, Vietnam Backroads- Vietnam Cycling Tours has organized many cycling adventures to Ca Mau and Dat Mui, allowing travelers to discover the province's unique landscapes, remote villages, and extraordinary natural heritage by bicycle. These journeys offer a rewarding experience through one of Vietnam's most fascinating and least-visited regions.
