When people ask me what to see in Mekong today. I tell them view our MekongDelta365.
Nowadays, there are more and more green and responsible tours which are meaningful and educational as well. This is why Can Tho noodle factory is getting popular for both Vietnamese and foreigners to come and explore the cuisine culture and the typical local life in Can Tho, Mekong Delta.
La excursión estuvo muy bien organizada. Chris explicó muchas cosas sobre la vida en el río y la agricultura de la zona. El mercado flotante fue interesante, pero la parte en bicicleta nos sorprendió más: caminos estrechos, puentes pequeños, casas junto a los canales y un mercado rural muy auténtico. Fue una experiencia cercana, sin sensación de turismo artificial.
The 5 AM pickup is early, but it is absolutely the right time to go. Lâm showed us the floating market before it became too bright and hot, and the breakfast on the river was a great start to the day. The cycling later was relaxed, scenic, and much more local than I expected. I especially enjoyed riding past canals and crossing the river by ferry.
