Itinerary
- Day 1
Ho Chi Minh City to Cu Chi
Your guide picks you up from your Ho Chi Minh City hotel at 7:30 AM or 12:30 PM for the drive northwest to Cu Chi, about an hour and a half away. The route takes you through countryside and rubber plantations, past small villages along the way. Once there, you'll watch a short documentary about the tunnel system's history before heading into the complex itself. The underground network includes living quarters, kitchens, hospitals, and command centers spread throughout. You'll see how the entrances were camouflaged with trapdoors and learn about the hidden traps set throughout. After exploring, there's time for special tea and boiled cassava, the basic food soldiers ate regularly during the war. The day ends with your return drive back to Ho Chi Minh City.
