AUTHENTIC VIETNAM AND CAMBODIA
The tour begins in the cooler mountainous north of Vietnam,in valleys full of vast rice paddies and small villages where you will meet mountain peoples. You will make breathtaking journeys through the mountains and come to traditional villages. At Mai Chau, the landscape is characterized by whimsical karst formations that rise from rice paddies and where you can walk endlessly.
Also during a boat trip through the as yet undiscovered Lan Ha Bay, a branch of the illustrious Halong Bay, typical karst formations reflect in the clear water. A short flight then takes you to the old trading town of Hoi An. A rich past led to a melting pot of styles that made the city seem like an open-air museum.

From Hoi An you will leave for Siem Reap,gateway to Angkor Wat, the icon of Cambodia. The immense complex of temples covers an area of more than 400 km2. More than a thousand temples in various styles have collapsed, overgrown by giant trees or covered with a blanket of moss. It's great to cycle around here, a few hours, a day, or even several days. The route to the temples leads along small paths and rice paddies, through villages, and especially a lot of jungle. Take the time to let all this beauty get through to you. You will return home with enthusiasm.
