■Discover the Untouched Beauty of Korea’s DMZ.

After the pain of division, South and North Korea held truce talks in 1951, eventually agreeing to establish the Military Demarcation Line (MDL). This line, set 2km from both sides, created a 4km-wide buffer zone, the DMZ. Strict military management restricted civilian access for 40 years, transforming the DMZ into a pristine ecological preservation area.

■Experience the DMZ like never before with our expert-guided tours. Dive into the history, explore the untouched nature, and create memories that will last a lifetime.

■Embark on a fascinating journey through the 3rd Infiltration Tunnel, a hidden passageway dug by North Korea with the intention of launching a surprise attack on the South.
■ Discovered in 1978, this tunnel is a stark reminder of the ongoing tensions and strategic maneuvers between the two Koreas.
■ As you walk through this 1-mile (1.6 km) long tunnel, you'll be immersed in the covert world of espionage and military strategy. The tunnel, located 73 meters below ground, is large enough to move thousands of troops per hour. Feel the atmosphere change as you descend into the cool, dimly lit passage, with walls bearing marks of dynamite and pickaxes used by North Korean.
