Above all, the Mekong Delta is not only a region but quite rightly recognized as the lifeblood of Southern Vietnam and a rich cultural treasure cask. Referred to as the “Rice Bowl of Vietnam," the Delta has been significant in feeding a nation in large measure from its very fertile land and a nicely developed network of waterways. And it doesn’t stop at agriculture. This vibrant area is home to a unique blend of ethnic groups, all of which add to the rich cultural diversity and traditions of the Mekong Delta.
With Specific optional Mekong tours, you will be able to learn about interesting history, created by centuries of trade, settlement, and fighting the natural elements of the river. From the hustle and bustle of the floating markets to the serenity of pagodas nestled amongst emerald greenery, each nook of the Mekong Delta tells a different story and lures into the depths of yet one more unknown part of Vietnamese life. The Delta is not a place of arrival but an experience that represents the very spirit of Vietnamese culture.
If you want to feel the real beauty and culture of Southern Vietnam, Specific optional Mekong tours can optionally be done in 2- 3 days. With such an ideal duration, travelers can see all the most attractive places without any hustle; that is why this option is in the highest demand among families, couples, and solo travelers.
In just two or three days, you can experience the vibrant chaos of the Cai Rang Floating Market, savor fresh tropical fruits right from the lush orchards, and paddle through quiet canals shaded by coconut palms. From Mekong Tours, the balance between relaxation and cultural immersion is perfectly achieved in the activities included, making for unforgettable memories at every stop.
In families, this is a learning process the locals make coconut candies and take in the sampan traditional boats. Couples will enjoy the romance of the serenity of the scenery along the river, while solo travelers may find solace in the connection with the warm hospitality of the locals. Whatever your travel style, Specific optional Mekong tours offer something for everyone to make your adventure as fulfilling as it is memorable.
