AUTHENTIC VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA
The tour begins in the cooler mountainous north of Vietnam, in valleys full of vast rice fields and small villages where you will meet mountain peoples. You will take breathtaking drives through the mountains and visit traditional villages. Near Mai Chau the landscape is characterized by jagged karst formations rising from rice fields where you can hike endlessly.
Also during a boat trip through the still undiscovered Lan Ha Bay, a branch of the illustrious Halong Bay, typical karst formations reflect in the clear water. A short flight then brings you to the ancient trading town of Hoi An. A rich past led to a melting pot of styles that makes the city seem like an open-air museum.

From Hoi An, depart for Siem Reap, gateway to Angkor Wat, the icon of Cambodia. The immense complex of temples covers an area of over 400 km2. More than a thousand temples in various styles are collapsed, overgrown by giant trees or covered with a blanket of moss. It is wonderful to cycle around here, for a few hours, a day, or even several days. The route to the temples leads along small paths and rice fields, through villages, and especially lots of jungle. Take your time to take in all this beauty. Full of enthusiasm you will return home.
