Discover Nature and Culture in Northern Vietnam: Cuc Phuong & Mai Chau Eco Tour
This 3-day eco-adventure invites you to reconnect with nature and explore the cultural heart of Northern Vietnam. Designed for travelers seeking authentic, low-impact experiences, the tour takes you through the lush biodiversity of Cuc Phuong National Park and the serene beauty of Mai Chau Valley.
Begin your journey in Cuc Phuong, Vietnam’s oldest national park, where ancient forests shelter rare wildlife, including langurs, colorful birds, and towering centuries-old trees. Explore its rich flora and fauna on guided treks and learn about local conservation efforts at the Endangered Primate Rescue Center.
From there, continue to Mai Chau, a peaceful valley surrounded by emerald mountains and home to the Thai ethnic minority. Enjoy a warm welcome in a traditional stilt house, savor home-cooked meals, and immerse yourself in village life. A gentle bike ride or walk through rice paddies and local hamlets provides a glimpse into the region’s harmonious balance between nature and community.
Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and those craving meaningful cultural interactions, this tour is a refreshing retreat from city life – and a deeper look into Vietnam’s natural soul.
Pick up at hotel and drive to Cuc Phuong National Park, one of Vietnam’s oldest national parks and consequently one of the best managed. It’s approximately 22, 000 ha of subtropical forest and karst limestone scenery, and home to an extraordinary range of unique species. You’ll visit the park’s Endangered Primate Centre, where you’ll be able to see two of the rarest species in the world, the critically endangered Delacour and Cat Ba langurs.
