Saigon - My Tho - Can Tho Journey Map
|
Mekong Delta is an area where boats are still the main means of transport and where rice paddies stretch as far as the eye can see. This 2 -day Mekong tour draws a picture of daily life as it happens on the river. You will visit a fruit garden, taste fresh fruits and discover local culinary specialties, especially Deep Fried Elephant Ear Fish and spring rolls. You also can join in the age-old Cai Rang floating market, where people sell fruit and farm products, namely mangos, plums, oranges, grapefruits, star apples, onions, guavas and chillies, which are peculiar to south western Vietnam. For those who love to explore the culture of the wet rice civilization, the Mekong Delta is really an unforgettable experience. |
