Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
From 7 to 8 am, you will be picked up to leave for Cu Chi - Ben Duoc Tunnel (less touristy) for one and a half hours. Cu Chi could be the starting point for those who want to know what Vietnam’s anti – American war was like. It is beyond human imagination for its tunnel system of over 220 km. During the American War, the villages around the district of Cu Chi supported a substantial Viet Cong (VC) presence. Faced with American attempts to neutralize them, they quite literally dug themselves out of harm’s way, and the legendary Cu Chi tunnels were the result.
As you crawl through the tiny hallway and get a taste of yucca with salted sesame seeds, you will figure out why Vietnam won such a battle. You will find it hard to imagine the destruction, damage, and defoliation all over the area, caused by bombing and mines when Cu Chi was “A Free Target Zone “. The shooting range with AK47 shall be available at your own expense if you want some ‘shooting time’ (Bullets cost excludes)
