A journey through the highlights of this constantly surprising destination, with an off-the-beaten-track highlands adventure

Small village in the Mekong delta, Vietnam

This trip encapsulates the magic of Vietnam: the conservative north, the rich heritage of the Imperial cities, the distinct cultures of the Central Highlands and the vibrant life of Saigon and the Mekong Delta. We come face to face with an outgoing culture, where so much goes on in the streets: eating, washing, socialising, buying and selling or impromptu games. This intoxicating parade of Vietnamese daily life may well leave us with our strongest memories, as much as the superb landscapes, the amazing cuisine and the reminders of the distant and the more recent past.
