Best Time to Experience Colombia to Ho Chi Minh City Tours
Dry Season (December – April)
Ho Chi Minh City Tours is best experienced during this time, in terms of the weather when it’s dry, sunny, and suitable for outdoor activities. A perfect time for visitors to walk around historical sites, busy markets, and cultural attractions without needing to contemplate rain.
Anyone who wishes to unwind and have a dip in the sea should not miss this chance of a periodic Vung Tau beach escape with a safe and smooth-watered shore and blue sky. The weather is also great for the Mekong Delta during this time, such as beautiful boat rides in the warm sun.
Rainy Season (May – November)
Rain showers are not unusual, but they seldom last more than a few minutes and add a refreshing chill to the tropical heat. For the Mekong Delta, this season is really beautiful when the landscape is green, the fruit orchards are rich and the river life is more bustling.
If you travel during this period there’ll be fewer tourists around, which means you’ll get to experience museums, temples, and historical sites in a much less crowded environment. This can be an amazing time to see Colombia to Ho Chi Minh City Tours at a slower speed if you don’t mind a few rainy days.
