Highlights: Massive Underground Network

Tour intinerary

A pleasant 60 km drive through many beautiful paddy fields heading northwest of Saigon, you are going to visit a massive underground network located near by the area once called "Iron Triangle" and was the termination of the Ho Chi Minh Trail. The tunnels were designed by local guerrillas as a “springboard for attacking Saigon.” The area was used for infiltrating Saigon-intelligence agents, part cadres, and sabotage teams.

The Tet Offensive of 1968 was prepared and the necessary troops and supplies assembled in the Cu Chi tunnels. The tunnels were used by Viet Cong guerrillas as hiding spots during combat, as well as serving as communication and supply routes, hospitals, food and weapon caches and living quarters for numerous guerrilla fighters. The role of the tunnel systems was so important to the Viet Cong in resisting American operations and protracting the war, eventually persuading the weary Americans into withdrawal.

Some tunnels have been made larger to accommodate the larger sized western tourists, while low-power lights have been installed in several of them to make traveling through them easier and booby traps have been clearly marked.

Back to your hotel at 2 PM. End trip.

NOTE: Proper dressing, no T-shirt & shorts, is a must for entering the temple

People with any heart-complications or claustrophobia should not go through the tunnels. Going down and have some photos taken should be fine.

Visitors can fire some old types of rifle at Cuchi shooting range.
