The Mekong Delta

Classic

Overview

A three-day tour to immerse yourself in the culture and lifestyle of the Mekong Delta.

These lands within the Mekong Delta were inhabited several centuries ago by the Khmers. Today, the Vietnamese State administers the 12 provinces that make up the Mekong Delta. In addition to these twelve provinces, there is one municipality, Can Tho, the main urban area of the region.

Visiting the Mekong Delta means discovering a local life entirely connected to the river. In the Mekong Delta, people sail more than they walk! Since waterways are the main means of transportation, markets also take place on the water. You will have the chance to explore several floating markets, such as the vibrant and colorful Long Xuyen market.
