The adventuresome may feel like to explore underground, the second and even third level of the system.

Taste freshly picked seasonal tropical fruits in an exuberant orchard and sample local specialties for lunch.

Mid-afternoon, we travel on to Can Tho City for overnight.

We take a morning boat tour of Cai Rang and delve in the sights and sounds of this extraordinary market. Hundreds of boats packed with local produces gather and make for an exciting maze. Boats come to us from all sides, offering fruits, vegetables, plants, foods, etc… Sellers advertise their wares by hanging samples high atop bamboo poles so that their customers can find from afar. It is a great view of how commerce actually happens in the Mekong.
