Let’s us (LOSTSOULSNV) take you on a day tour to with VIETNAM ADVENTURE TOURS to amazing Cu Chi Tunnels and Mekong Delta Coconut Island.

The Cu Chi Tunnels are an extensive underground network located in Vietnam, near Ho Chi Minh City. They played a significant role during the Vietnam War, serving as hiding spots, supply routes, and living quarters for Viet Cong guerrilla fighters. The tunnels are now a popular tourist attraction, allowing visitors to explore a portion of the complex and learn about the history and tactics employed during the war.

Cu Chi Tunnels of Saigon is honored in the TOP 7 most adventurous destinations in Southeast Asia and the TOP 12 most attractive underground wonders in the globe. The decades-old tunnel complex resembles a sophisticated hidden maze, where visitors can glimpse the turbulent Vietnamese history as if they are traveling back to the wartime.

Besides being the hustle and bustle of an economic hub, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) embraces historical vestiges appealing to both domestic and international tourists. Cu Chi Tunnels is one of the most significant relics of the city, offering first-hand experiences inside the massive underground cave and interesting insights into the lives of Vietnamese soldiers during the war.

Cu Chi Tunnels (Địa đạo Củ Chi in Vietnamese) is situated in Cu Chi District, the outskirts northwest of Ho Chi Minh City, 70 kilometers away from the city center. The underground networks are well-retained in two spots: Ben Dinh Tunnels (Ben Dinh Hamlet, Nhuan Duc Commune) and Ben Duoc Tunnels (Phu Hiep Hamlet, Phu My Hung Commune).

Despite the far distance from the vibrant center, this suburban district is worth visiting for its several tourist destinations along with the tunnel networks, such as fresh fruit gardens, Cu Chi Water Park, and Fosaco eco-village.

Cu Chi's weather is another factor to consider before your trip. Owing to the tropical climate, Cu Chi has two distinct seasons: the rainy season (May to October) and the dry season (November to April) - the best time to visit Cu Chi Tunnels.

The Tunnels of Cu Chi, a gigantic underground tunnel system, was originally constructed under the jungle terrain, connecting tunnels among the hamlets and communes during the Indochina war (1945-1954) against the French colonialists. It served as hiding spots for Vietnam revolutionary troops to discreetly commute between regions and evade French scouts.

During the Vietnam War, the network had been expanded into an assembly complex for Communist guerrilla soldiers to house troops, transport communications, and supplies, receive medical treatments, take shelters from aerial bombardment, and mount surprise attacks, after which they could disappear underneath the ground. As a military headquarters, Cu Chi Tunnels played a pivotal role in the Vietnamese forces' resistance to the American army in South Vietnam. It served as an isolated stronghold to plan strategies and launch successful military campaigns, notably the victorious Tết Offensive in 1968.

The Mekong Delta is a vast and fertile region in southern Vietnam, shaped by the Mekong River's intricate network of distributaries and canals. Known as the "Rice Bowl" of Vietnam, it's a vital agricultural area. Visitors can explore its floating markets, lush landscapes, and traditional villages to experience the unique culture and lifestyle of the delta.
