Vietnam

Vietnam offers a captivating blend of traditional charm, stunning landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant urban experiences, making it an unforgettable travel destination.

OVERVIEW OF VIETNAM

Shaped like an elongated S, Vietnam stretches the length of the Indochinese Peninsula and covers a surface area of 128,000 square miles-making it roughly the size of Italy or, in the U.S., New Mexico. China lies to the north, Laos and Cambodia to the west, and the South China Sea to the east. Topographically, Vietnam is a verdant tapestry of soaring mountains, fertile deltas, primeval forests inhabited by exotic fauna, sinuous rivers, mysterious caves, otherworldly rock formations, and heavenly waterfalls and beaches. Beyond nature, the curious and open-minded visitor will find in Vietnam a feast of culture and history.

Vietnam’s allure extends to the ancient towns of Hoi An and Hue, enriching the country’s tour offerings.

Meanwhile, Hue, with its imperial citadel and historic pagodas, offers a glimpse into Vietnam’s royal past. Visitors can embark on cycling tours through picturesque countryside landscapes, exploring rice paddies and rural villages. These additions complement Vietnam’s diverse tour experiences, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in the country’s rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking scenery.
