Also known as the “Nine Dragon River Delta”, the Mekong Delta spans across South Vietnam before it empties into the East Sea through a network of 9 distributors. Vietnam’s rice basket is a watery landscape of green fields and sleepy villages, everywhere crisscrossed by the brown canals and rivulets, fed by the mighty Mekong River. Only on this full-day venture, you will particularly get to know Ben Tre. A little off-the-beaten-track town, charming Ben Tre is famous for its small roads and bridges to connect communities. Nationwide, it is known for its coconut candy (called Keo Dua); many women of Ben Tre are making these sweets, and visitors can see how coconut cauldrons turn into their square shape.
