Located just 60 km from Ho Chi Minh City, the Cu Chi Tunnels are an extraordinary remnant of Vietnam’s wartime history. Once a vital strategic base during the Vietnam War, this vast network of over 200 km of underground tunnels served as hidden cities—complete with living quarters, trapdoors, field hospitals, command centers, storage rooms, and even makeshift kitchens.

Before exploring, you’ll watch a short introductory documentary to understand how the tunnels were built and used during the war. Then, descend into the tunnels yourself and experience firsthand the narrow passages once used by Vietnamese guerrilla fighters.

It’s hard to believe that this peaceful countryside, now dotted with ducks and water buffalo grazing near the rice paddies, was once a battlefield ravaged by bombs and defoliation. Yet remnants of the past remain—offering a powerful and emotional glimpse into the resilience and determination of the Vietnamese people.

After the tunnel exploration, enjoy a traditional wartime snack of cassava and tea, once the staple diet of the guerrilla fighters.
