Itinerário

1. Start the day with a visit to the famous Cu Chi Tunnels, which stretch over 250 kilometers. Cu Chi is one of the most notable and historical landmarks of the Vietnam War. The tunnel system was created in 1948 to assist the Viet Minh in their fight for independence from the French, and it later became legendary during the 1960s for its vital role in the Vietnam War. It allowed the Viet Cong (communist guerrillas) to control large rural areas just 65 kilometers from Ho Chi Minh City. The tunnel network includes hospitals, living quarters, kitchens, storage areas, and workrooms, all located underground. Excavated in an area with clay mixed with laterite, the tunnels are highly durable and stable, with air circulation provided through strategically placed ventilation holes.

About Cidade de Ho Chi Minh

Cidade de Ho Chi Minh, ainda chamada Saigon, é o animado polo comercial do Vietname: edifícios coloniais, história de guerra e comida de rua.

O Distrito 1 reúne as principais atrações a pé: a Catedral de Notre-Dame em tijolo vermelho, a elegante Estação Central dos Correios com a sua sala abobadada, a Ópera colonial e a ornamentada Câmara Municipal. O Palácio da Independência conserva as suas salas como estavam no fim da guerra, e o Museu dos Vestígios da Guerra conta a história do conflito com uma franqueza que dá que pensar.
